- Unilever LyricsWhen you don't want to feed the world
When you just want to feed your bank balance
Wash your guilt away:
UNILEVER WASHES WHITER!
Soap to clean those dirty hands
And a slap for the people who work the land
Unilever
Man-made hunger
Soap in our eyes
John West is the Best!
Old soap opera
No soap reality
Legal slave trade
Domestos kills all known truths dead
Soap to wash the darkest stain
Profit covers up the pain
Of a slow, deliberate genocide
And all the dirt you want to hide
Take the black and wash it whiter
Brooke Bond Oxo
Blue Band, Bird's Eye
Lifebuoy, Sunsilk
Persil washes Whiter!
We make whitewash
We sell whitewash
Consume whitewash
Consumed by whitewash
Somewhere in this cycle there's me and you
What are we prepared to do?

When you just want to feed your bank balance
Wash your guilt away:
UNILEVER WASHES WHITER!
Soap to clean those dirty hands
And a slap for the people who work the land
Unilever
Man-made hunger
Soap in our eyes
John West is the Best!
Old soap opera
No soap reality
Legal slave trade
Domestos kills all known truths dead
Soap to wash the darkest stain
Of a slow, deliberate genocide
And all the dirt you want to hide
Take the black and wash it whiter
Brooke Bond Oxo
Blue Band, Bird's Eye
Lifebuoy, Sunsilk
Persil washes Whiter!
We make whitewash
We sell whitewash
Consume whitewash
Consumed by whitewash
Somewhere in this cycle there's me and you
What are we prepared to do?

✔️
When we look beyond the surface of the words, Chumbawamba's 'Unilever' song takes a shot at such companies as Unilever for misleading the public and others about their malpractices through advertising and marketing, such as the mistreatment of laborers and the contributing to the problem of hunger. The lyrics draw a parallel between whitewashing and the act of hiding the evil truths and blemishes of these corporations, thereby provoking the audience to consider their part in such systems' survival. On the whole, the song mainly presents its views through outrage, despair, angst and reflection. In addition, the piece points out the corporate greed and exploitation, social injustice, consumerism and complicity together with a call to action. The lyrics present themes of social commentary and criticism of corporate practices and societal problems that are, to a certain extent, incompatible with the understanding of very young kids unless their parents guide them. Nevertheless, there is no profanity, violence or adult content that would necessitate a higher rating.
