Lyrics
Shoes
I know who makes my shoes
Yeah I know who makes my shoes
You may think this information
Something you can't use
But I know who makes my shoes
And I know who grows my food
Yeah, I know who grows my food
I went down to the fields
To make sure we were introduced
Now I know who grows my food
What goes out must still come round
And there's so much to be found
So I know who makes the clothes I wear
Yeah I know who makes the clothes I wear
I used to buy them blindly
And I didn't even care
But now I know who makes the clothes I wear
And I know who grows my food
And I know it's a small, small world
When someone's being used
So I know who makes my shoes...
