Kodaikanal Won't Lyrics
Kodaikanal won't
Kodaikanal won't
Kodaikanal won't step down until you make amends now.
This is the story of Kodai's frustration
Know to us as the princess of hill stations
Unilever came and left devastation
As they exposed the land to contamination
So Here's the story
They set up a thermometer factory
Where workers handled toxic mercury
They dumped their waste in the local shrubbery
Now that's some toxic sh*t
By the way, what'd they say?
That their factory was safe as day
They don't trust a word of what their workers say
What about the polluting, the mercury poisoning?
It's life threatening. There's kids suffering.
Poison in the soil you don't have us foiled.
Your clean was a sham, there's poison in the air.
You aint done done-da done done done
Kodaikanal won't
Kodaikanal won't
Kodaikanal won't step down until you make amends now.
Unilever. Clean up your mess.
Unilever. Clean up your mess.
Unilever. I said Clean up your mess.
Clean up your mess. That's right clean up your mess.
Unilever has bee hiding behind
Their fake PSAs and Pepsodent smiles
They washed their hands off Kodai with Lifebuoy
There's nothing Fair or Lovely about this trial.
But this is real
Prolonged exposure got many men killed
There's Children born being seriously ill
The environment is polluted still
Now that's some toxic shit.
By the way, what'd they say?
That their factory was safe as day
They don't trust a word of what their workers say
What about the polluting the mercury poisoning?
It's life threatening. There's kids suffering.
Poison in the soil you don't have us foiled.
Your clean was a sham, there's poison in the air.
You ain't done done-da done done done
Kodaikanal won't
Kodaikanal won't
Kodaikanal won't step down until you make amends now
