These bloody great giants
Running now on our roads
Ev are the answer
They have forgotten the codes
The silence surrounding
COBALT and the need
Mining in The Congo
Where thousands now bleed
Poverty draws them
Tho mining in places
To kick up a dust
Their poor etched faces
Enough of the cobalt
The so called cycle
Rechargeable batteries
Do many are dying
This is slave labour
It is death defying.
Broken and toxic
Many now lie
In collapsed tunnels
Yes they did die
And it’s for our EV’s
Our smart phones that’s right
What we use every day
Has become their blight
