Luyện nghe bài hát Shadow Business

- When you over in American Samoa, what...what you the most?
- I guess what hit me the most is the condition of the that the workers were in:
The factory was surrounded by a fence and barbed wire on top and on the bottom. And have a chain-linked fence surround the whole factory and, and dormitory compound. The gate has a...has a guard shack, where the guard sit there and control the worker movement in and out of the.. of the factory
- The factory are made of ahm.. tin panels with tin roof. It's really hot. The temperature over there is verily ninety and inside the factory or the dormitory it reaches way over a hundred degrees.

It's the contemporary of slavery, they call it slave labour
But don't prosecute them 'cause it's how they make paper
When you rocking that fly shit that's in China
By an year old child tryna feed his mama
He exposed to and disease
And fifty-five percent of them will get degrees
And the have to try to placate the boss
Because sex discrimination in the labour force
The slave master let them speak in sign language
And they're suffering from disease and eye damage
fourteen hour shifts, days a week
two shitty meals a day, very sleep
Human life only three cents an hour
All human right laws loose of power
What did four hundred years in the grave
Only the cleverness of slave masters.

When the mind is confined to a prisoner's
And the lies they in the system that fail
But I the system to fail!

It's one point six million locked in jail
They do new slave labour force trapped in
They generate over a billion dollars to power
And only getting paid twenty an hour
They make cloths for and for Apple Bee's
And working fourteen hour shifts in factories
And while we sit around debating who the wack is
They have to work when arthritic attack the knees
is not illegal, that's a fucking lie!
It is illegal, unless it's for conviction of a
The main is to get you in your fucking prime.
And the prison full and not give you a fucking dime
But they the real criminal you confined
For a petty crime but they you two-to-nine
And nobody there to protect ya
Except a bunch of incompetent human inspectors

Is life living if you living in hell?
When the mind is confined to a prisoner's
And the lies they devise in the system fail
But I expect the to fail!
Is life worth living if you living in
When the mind is confined to a prisoner's
And the lies they devise in the that fail
But I the system to fail!

- This Chinese woman made T-shirts and at the factory until she became pregnant.
- When I told them I was pregnant, they me to have an abortion..
- Tu Mei says she refused to have the abortion and has now been barred from entering the factory.

- Inside that factory law applies, and Chinese law is... is supreme
- Even though the United States of America?
- The flag doesn't fly there.
