[00:16.25]	This is my town
[00:18.85]	Out in the rust belt fields
[00:22.84]	We were bangin’ out Buicks
[00:26.47]	And Oldsmobiles
[00:30.48]	There was always a job
[00:34.68]	And the money was there
[00:38.75]	Some say we got a little lazy
[00:41.40]	Nobody seemed to care
[00:45.48]	But they figured it out
[00:49.34]	And shipped the elbow grease
[00:53.85]	Down to Mexico
[00:57.06]	And off to the Chinese
[01:01.64]	And I learned a little something
[01:04.77]	Bout how things are
[01:10.07]	No one remembers your name
[01:12.58]	Just for working hard
[01:22.14]	Drove into the ground
[01:24.90]	Till your factory’s cold
[01:29.43]	Then they tear it all down
[01:32.67]	And the parts get sold
[01:37.04]	Come the bankers now
[01:40.92]	Pickin’ over the bones
[01:44.88]	I got three more neighbors now
[01:48.37]	Bout to lose their homes
[01:52.58]	Cause they figured it out
[01:56.36]	And shipped the elbow grease
[02:00.46]	Down to Mexico
[02:03.28]	And off to the Chinese
[02:08.06]	And I learned a little something
[02:11.46]	Bout how things are
[02:16.57]	No one gets a bonus
[02:19.50]	For bloody knuckles and scars
[02:24.19]	No one remembers your name
[02:26.89]	Just for working hard
[02:51.47]	There’s a casino boat
[02:55.50]	It’s up around Boon
[02:59.12]	Think I’ll buy me a bottle
[03:02.16]	And a motel room
[03:07.11]	Put all I have left
[03:10.65]	On a little black square
[03:14.92]	Risk it all like the big boys
[03:17.72]	Like I don’t even care
[03:22.38]	They’ll drive you into the ground
[03:26.23]	Till your engine’s cold
[03:30.04]	Call in the auctioneer
[03:33.33]	As the banks foreclose
[03:38.12]	And I learned a little something
[03:41.24]	Bout how things are
[03:45.76]	No one gets a bonus
[03:49.04]	For bloody knuckles and scars
[03:54.17]	No one remembers your name
[03:56.68]	Just for working hard
[04:01.07]
