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 aint 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
Here in the real world they're
Shutting Detroit down
i think the same think the laying off the ones who need help and the a hols on wall street need to be fired and money taking away lets see how they like it
