[00:05.70] James McMurtry - We Can't Make It Here
[00:17.31]
[00:22.79]
[00:24.58]
[00:25.08] Theres a Vietnam Vet with a cardboard sign
[00:27.92] Sitting there by the left turn line
[00:30.80] The flag on his wheelchair flapping in the breeze
[00:34.04] One leg missing and both hands free
[00:37.32]
[00:40.51] No ones paying much mind to him
[00:43.14] The V.A. budgets just stretched so thin
[00:45.83] And now theres more coming back from the Mideast war
[00:48.62] We cant make it here anymore
[00:53.95]
[00:56.54] And that big ol building was the textile mill
[00:59.48] That fed our kids and it paid our bills
[01:02.26] But they turned us out and they closed the doors
[01:05.40] 'Cause we cant make it here anymore
[01:12.86]
[01:13.26] You see those pallets piled up on the loading dock
[01:16.01] Theyre just gonna sit there til they rot
[01:19.09] Cause theres nothing to ship, nothing to pack
[01:22.23] Just busted concrete and rusted tracks
[01:24.57]
[01:25.76] Empty storefronts around the square
[01:28.05] Theres a needle in the gutter and glass everywhere
[01:31.04] You dont come down here unless youre looking to score
[01:34.07] We cant make it here anymore
[01:40.21]
[01:47.82] The bars still open but man its slow
[01:50.76] The tip jars light and the registers low
[01:53.64] The bartender dont have much to say
[01:56.34] The regular crowd gets thinner each day
[01:58.68]
[02:02.76] Some have maxed out all their credit cards
[02:05.69] Some are working two jobs and living in cars
[02:08.93] Minimum wage wont pay for a roof, wont pay for a drink
[02:11.87] If you gotta have proof just try it yourself Mr. C.E.O.
[02:17.04] See how far 5.15 an hour will go
[02:20.13] Take a part time job at one your stores
[02:23.31] I bet you cant make it here anymore
[02:54.94]
[03:00.62] And theres a high school girl with a bourgeois dream
[03:03.60] Just like the pictures in the magazine
[03:06.40] She found on the floor of the laundromat
[03:09.58] A woman with kids can forget all that
[03:12.77]
[03:13.42] If she comes up pregnant whatll she do
[03:15.26] Forget the career and forget about school
[03:18.09] Can she live on faith? Live on hope?
[03:21.19] High on Jesus or hooked on dope
[03:24.08] When its way too late to just say no
[03:27.01] You cant make it here anymore
[03:36.32]
[03:46.08] Now Im stocking shirts in the Wal-Mart store
[03:49.02] Just like the ones we made before
[03:51.61] Cept this one came from Singapore
[03:54.19] I guess we cant make it here anymore
[04:02.32]
[04:04.36] Should I hate a people for the shade of their skin
[04:06.15] Or the shape of their eyes or the shape Im in
[04:08.74] Should I hate em for having our jobs today
[04:10.93] No I hate the men sent the jobs away
[04:16.40]
[04:17.30] I can see them all now, they haunt my dreams
[04:19.59] All lily white and squeaky clean
[04:22.38] Theyve never known want, theyll never know need
[04:25.32] Their shit dont stink and their kids wont bleed
[04:28.30] Their kids wont bleed in their damn little war
[04:31.39] And we cant make it here anymore
[04:43.24]
[04:49.30] 啊啊啊哈啊啊啊哈啊哈啊哈
[05:07.78] Will I work for food, will I die for oil
[05:10.61] Will kill for power and to us the spoils
[05:13.90] The billionaires get to pay less tax
[05:16.16] The working poor get to fall through the cracks
[05:21.03]
[05:22.47] So let em eat jellybeans let em eat cake
[05:24.87] Let em eat shit, whatever it takes
[05:27.40] They can join the Air Force or join the Corps
[05:30.49] If they cant make it here anymore
[05:37.47]
[05:49.81] So thats how it is, thats what we got
[05:52.20] If the president wants to admit it or not
[05:54.94] You can read it in the paper, read it on the wall
[05:58.22] Hear it on the wind if youre listening at all
[06:01.12] Get out of that limo, look us in the eye
[06:03.75] Call us on the cell phone tell us all why
[06:06.89]
[06:07.64] In Dayton Ohio or Portland Maine
[06:09.73] Or a cotton gin out on the great high plains
[06:12.41] Thats done closed down along with the school
[06:15.50] And the hospital and the swimming pool
[06:19.08]
[06:19.48] Dust devils dance in the noonday heat
[06:21.52] Theres rats in the alley and trash in the street
[06:24.12] Gang graffiti on a boxcar door
[06:26.86] We cant make it here anymore
[06:34.77]
[06:37.86]
