John Rich - Shuttin' Detroit Down |
|
My daddy taught me |
|
In this county 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 |
|
Whining on my evening news |
|
About how their losing billions |
|
And it's up to me and you |
|
To come running to the rescue |
|
Well pardon me if I don't she'd a tear |
|
Cuz they're selling make believe |
|
And we don't buy that here |
|
Because in the real world they're |
|
Shutting Detroit down |
|
While the boss man takes his |
|
Bonus pay and jets on outta town |
|
DC's paying out the banker |
|
As the farmers auction ground |
|
And while their living up on Wall Street |
|
In that New York City town |
|
Here in the real world they're |
|
Shutting Detroit down |
|
Here in the real world they're |
|
Shutting Detroit down |
|
Well that old mans been working |
|
Hard in that plant most all his life |
|
And now his pension plans |
|
Been cut in half and |
|
He can't afford to dye |
|
And it's a crying shame |
|
Cuz he ain't the one to blame |
|
When I look down and see his callused hands |
|
Well let me tell you friend |
|
It gets me fighting mad |
|
Because in the real world they're |
|
Shutting Detroit down |
|
While the boss man takes his |
|
Bonus pay and jets on outta town |
|
DC's paying out the banker |
|
As the farmers auction ground |
|
And while their living up on Wall Street |
|
In that New York City town |
|
Here in the real world they're |
|
Shutting Detroit down |
|
And while their living up on Wall Street |
|
In that New York City town |
|
Here in the real world they're |
|
Shutting Detroit down |
|
Here in the real world they're |
|
Shutting Detroit down |
|
In the real world they're |
|
Shutting Detroit down |
|
They're shutting Detroit down |
