Honest to goodness
The bars weren't open this morning
They must have been voting
For a new president of something
Do you have a quarter
I said  "Yes"  because I did

Honest to goodness
The tears have been falling all over this country's face
It was better before
Before they voted for 'What's his name'

This is suppose to be the new world
It was better before
Before they voted for 'What's his name'
This is suppose to be the new world

Flint Ford Automobile  Alabama
Windshield Wiper  Buffalo  New York
Gary  Indiana  don't forget the Motor City
Baltimore and D C   now all we need is
Don't forget the Motor City

This was suppose to be the new world
Don't forget the Motor City

This was suppose to be the new world

All we need is money
Just give us what you can spare
Twenty or thirty pounds of potatoes
Or twenty or thirty beers
A turkey on Thanksgiving like alms for the poor
All we need are the necessities and more
It was better before they voted for
'What's his name'

This is suppose to be the new world
It was better before they voted for 'What's his name'

This is suppose to be the new world

Don't forget the Motor City

This was suppose to be the new world
Don't forget the Motor City

This was suppose to be the new world
