REMOVED LYRICS:

An explosion in May 2011 at a Foxconn iPad factory in Chengdu killed four people and injured 18.
The explosion was caused by aluminum dust created during the polishing of thousands of iPad cases.
Seven months later, another iPad factory exploded in Shanghai, injuring 59 workers, with 23 hospitalised.
Once again, aluminum dust was the cause, according to interviews and Apple’s supplier responsibility report.

LINER NOTES:

So those iPads you and I caress have deaths behind them. It's surprising - or is it? - that the practice wasn't stamped out after the fatal explosion.
