James McMurtrey - We Can't Make It Here Anymore
Partial lyrics:
Now I'm stocking shirts in the Wal-Mart stores just like the ones we made before 'cept this one came from Singapore I guess we can't make it here anymore
Should I hate a people for the shade of their skin or the shape of their eyes or the shape i'm in should i hate em for having our jobs today No I hate the men sent the jobs away I can see them all now, they haunt my dreams all lily white and squeaky clean they've never known want, they'll never know need Their shit don't stink and their kids don't bleed their kids don't bleed in their damn little war and we can't make it here anymore
will work for food and die for oil will kill for power and to us the spoils the billionaires get to pay less tax the working poor get to fall through the cracks so let 'em eat jellybeans let 'em eat cake let em eat shit, whatever it takes they can join the Air Force or join the Corps if they can't make here anymore
So that's how it is, that's what we got if the president wants to admit it or not you can read it in the papers, read it on the wall hear it on the wind if you're listening at all get out of that limo, look us in the eye call us on the cell phone tell us all why
I think that just about sums it all up. Gotta get my meathooks on this one.
