OK, since Teresa started it, here's some other powerful lyrics to a popular song right now. You can boot me over to Politics or Misc. And read it like "Dee-troit".
Shuttin Detroit Down
John Rich
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
I started it?? Why do I always get the blame....... :D
Here is John Rich singing it.
Another good one John Rich sings...
"WHERE THE MONEY GOES" IS A BRAND NEW ORIGINAL SONG THAT WAS WRITTEN BY EVERYDAY REAL AMERICANS ABOUT THE BAILOUT.
. WE WROTE THIS SONG TO EXPRESS IN WORDS WHAT A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE ASKING THEMSELVES... I WANNA KNOW WHERE THE MONEY GOES.
Yes, another good song w/ good lyrics. But I don't think John Rich sang that version; that doesn't sound like him at all.
