My daddy taught me in this country everyone's the same |
|
You work hard for your dollar and you never pass the blame |
|
When it don't go your way |
|
Now I see all these big shots whinin' on my evening news |
|
They say they're losin' billions and it's up to me and you |
|
To come runnin' to the rescue |
|
Well, pardon me if |
|
I don't shed a tear |
|
But they're sellin' make believe and we don't buy that here' |
|
Cause in the real world they're shuttin' |
|
Detroit down |
|
While the boss man takes his bonus pay and jets on out of town |
|
And DC's bailin' out them bankers as the farmers auction ground |
|
Yeah, while they're living it up on |
|
Wall Street in that |
|
New York City town |
|
Here in the real world they're shuttin' |
|
Detroit down |
|
Here in the real world they're shuttin' |
|
Detroit down |
|
Well, that old man's been workin' in that plant most all his life |
|
Now his pension plan's been cut in half and he can't afford to die |
|
And it's a cryin' shame 'cause he ain't the one to blame |
|
And when I look down and see those calloused hands |
|
Well, let me tell you friend it makes me fightin' mad |
|
Here in the real world they're shuttin' |
|
Detroit down |
|
While the boss man takes his bonus pay and jets on out of town |
|
And DC's bailin' out them bankers as the farmers auction ground |
|
Yeah, while they're livin' it up on |
|
Wall Street in that |
|
New York City town |
|
Here in the real world they're shuttin' |
|
