Lyrics
Like Cleveland, Janesville, Camden,
or East St. Louis, where they used to make,
the things that we would all use every day.
Now we've shipped it to Korea, China Indonesia,
left like Ghost Towns, of the old west laid to west,
and left decayed.
They say, "lets get with the program,
there's nothing like the globalization"
of our paychecks, bank accounts, and place to stay
Lets give free trade to the masses,
cuz Americans have assets,
like satellite tv's, big cars, iPods, and fancy dress.
Left you drowning in the street,
bills a rope around your neck
and that big ole flatscreen tv,
wont mean a thing to me when you're dead.
We're kept separate by the waters,
cut off from one another, where we used to play,
in fields as kids at night time with the moon.
Now lets get out of the suburbs, these modern sprawling deserts,
and take back all,
the cities, towns and counties we once knew.
Left you drowning in the street,
bills a rope around your neck,
and that big ole flatscreen tv,
wont mean a thing to me when you're dead.
Left you drowning in the street,
well bills a rope around your neck,
and we'll talk about the hard times,
the ones we ain't be leaving yet.
