Lyrics

[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]
