Shutting Detroit Down

I don't care if you're a country music fan....this song is awesome!!!!!



If you don't want to watch the video, here are the lyrics:

Shuttin' Detroit Down

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 bigshots crying on my evening news.
'Bout how they're 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.
'Cause they're selling make-believe and we don't buy that here.

chorus:
In the real world, they're shuttin' Detroit down.
While the boss-man takes his bonus pay and jets on out of town.
And D.C.'s bailing out them bankers as the farmers auction ground.
Yeah, while they're living it up on Wall Street in that New York City town.
Here in the real world they're shuttin Detroit down.
Here in the real world they're shuttin' Detroit down.

Well my granddaddy worked hard in that plant most all his life.
Now his pension plan's been cut in half and he can't afford to die.
And it's a crying shame. 'Cause he ain't the one to blame.
And when I look down and see his calloused hands.
Well, let me tell you friend it gets me fighting mad.

chorus:
In the real world, they're shuttin' Detroit down.
While the boss-man takes his bonus pay and jets on out of town.
And D.C.'s bailing out them bankers as the farmers auction ground.
Yeah, while they're living it up on Wall Street in that New York City town.
Here in the real world they're shuttin Detroit down.
Here in the real world they're shuttin' Detroit down.
