Shuttin' Detroit Down

In the style of

John Rich

Lyrics

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

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 shed a tear

'cos there selling make believe
and we don't buy that here

'cos in the real world

their shuttin' detroit down

while the boss man takes
his bonus paid jets

on out of town

dc's bailing out them bankers

as the farmers auction ground

yeah while there living it 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 can't afford to die

and it's a crying shame

'cos he ain't the one to blame

when i looked down
to see his calloused hands

well let me tell you friend
it gets me fightin' mad

'cos in the real world

their shuttin' detroit down

while the boss man takes
his bonus paid jets

on out of town

dc's bailing out them bankers

as the farmers auction ground

yeah while there living it up
on wall street in

that new york city town

here in the real world

their shuttin' detroit down

yeah while there living it 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
