Shuttin' Detroit Down
Lyricist:J D Anderson, John Rich
My daddy taught me in this country 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 whinin' on my evening news They say they're losin' billions and it's up to me and you To come runnin' to the rescue
Well, pardon me if I don't shed a tear But they're sellin' make believe and we don't buy that here
'Cause in the real world they're shuttin' Detroit down While the boss man takes his bonus pay and jets on out of town And DC's bailin' out them bankers as the farmers auction ground
Yeah, while they're living it up on Wall Street in that New York City town Here in the real world they're shuttin' Detroit down Here in the real world they're shuttin' Detroit down
Well, that old man's been workin' in that plant most all his life Now his pension plan's been cut in half and he can't afford to die Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com And it's a cryin' shame 'cause he ain't the one to blame
And when I look down and see those calloused hands Well, let me tell you friend it makes me fightin' mad
Here in the real world they're shuttin' Detroit down While the boss man takes his bonus pay and jets on out of town And DC's bailin' out them bankers as the farmers auction ground
Yeah, while they're livin' it up on Wall Street in that New York City town Here in the real world they're shuttin' Detroit down
In the real world they're shuttin' Detroit down While the boss man takes his bonus pay and jets on out of town DC's bailin' out them bankers as the farmers auction ground
Yeah, while they're livin' it up on Wall Street in that New York City town Here in the real world they're shuttin' Detroit down In the real world they're shuttin' Detroit down In the real world they're shuttin' Detroit down
