Cobalt
Lyrics and music by Tony Avila
The ion batteries in our cell phones and laptops
Requires a mineral called Cobalt
Which is rich in some of the poorest places in the world

Unmonitored

Without gloves
Without masks

Cant afford to eat regularly
Making multinational corporations millions
Suffer in squalor
Consumers unaware
