Our workers in America no longer have a chance
They send our jobs to Taiwan and our contracts go to France
The politicians turn their heads and close their office door
While the rich keep getting richer
and the poor keep getting poor..
The housing market crumbles and the toys are filled with lead
You can't afford to heat your home or buy a loaf of bread
The poor man washes dishes while the rich man cuts the meat
The rich man's making millions
While the poor man's on the street.
The dollar value lowers, while the euro's on the rise
The poor man does the baking while the rich man eats the pies
Our companies are shipping out to find a foreign shore
While the rich keep getting richer
The poor keep getting poor.
The housing market crumbles and the toys are filled with lead
You can't afford to heat your home or buy a loaf of bread
The poor man washes dishes while the rich man cuts the meat
The rich man's making millions
while the poor man's on the street
He's on the street…
He's on the street…
They send our jobs to Taiwan and our contracts go to France
The politicians turn their heads and close their office door
While the rich keep getting richer
and the poor keep getting poor..
The housing market crumbles and the toys are filled with lead
You can't afford to heat your home or buy a loaf of bread
The poor man washes dishes while the rich man cuts the meat
The rich man's making millions
While the poor man's on the street.
The dollar value lowers, while the euro's on the rise
The poor man does the baking while the rich man eats the pies
Our companies are shipping out to find a foreign shore
While the rich keep getting richer
The poor keep getting poor.
The housing market crumbles and the toys are filled with lead
You can't afford to heat your home or buy a loaf of bread
The poor man washes dishes while the rich man cuts the meat
The rich man's making millions
while the poor man's on the street
He's on the street…
He's on the street…
