Working Poor lyrics

Rustbelt trains keep rollin' on Movin' Chinese goods to every town The union songs ain't sung much more Wall Street barons closed the store Welcome to the ranks of the working poor Welcome to the ranks of the working poor College grads go back to school No livin' wage but you ain't no fool Women's pay is on the floor The boss man chooses, that's for sure The boss man chooses, that's for sure They told us if we worked real hard We'd own a fine house with a dog in the yard That we could be anything that we chose The emperor's wearin' his new clothes Hey, hey ho ho activist No sense hangin' like a passive fist Most sit on the couch an' just complain Dance between drops in a soakin' rain Artful Dodgers at our core Or we hide inside an' lock the door Silent architects of the working poor Hail the architects of the working poor
