Shuttin' Detroit Down

My daddy taught me in this country everyones the same

You work hard for your dollar and you never pass the blame

When it dont go your way

Now I see all these big shots whining on my evening news

About how their losing billions and its up to me and you

To come running to the rescue

Well, pardon me if I dont shed a tear

There selling make believe and we dont buy that here

Because in the real world their shuttin Detroit down

While the boss man takes his bonus paid jets on out of town

DCs bailing out them bankers as the farmers auction ground

Yeah, while there living up on Wall Street in that New York City town

Here in the real world their shuttin Detroit down

Here in the real world their shuttin Detroit down

Well that old mans been working in that plant most all his life

Now his pension plans been cut in half and he cant afford to die

And its a crying shame, cus he aint the one to Blame

When I looked down to see his calloused hands

Well let me tell you friend it gets me fightin mad

Cause in the real world their shuttin Detroit down

While the boss man takes his bonus paid jets on out of town

DCs bailing out them bankers as the farmers auction ground

Yeah, while there living up on Wall Street in that New York City town

Here in the real world their shuttin Detroit down

Yeah while there living up on Wall Street in that New York City town

Here in the real world their shuttin Detroit down

Here in the real world their shuttin Detroit down

In the real world their shuttin Detroit down

Their shuttin Detroit down
