Shutting Detroit Down by John Rich
Shutting Detroit Down
Capo:no capo
G
My daddy taught me that in this country everyone’s the same
You work hard for your dollar and you never pass the blame
C
When it don’t go your way
G
Now I see all these big shots cryin’ on my evening news
About how they’re losin’ billions and how it’s up to me and you
C
To come running to the rescue
D C
D
Well pardon me if I don’t shed a tear ‘cause they’re selling make believe
C
And we don’t buy that here
Chorus
G C G
Cause in the real world they're shutting Detroit down
G D C G
While the boss man takes his bonus pay and jets out of town
G D C G
And DC’s bailing out the bankers as the farmers auction ground
G D C G
Yeah while they’re living it up on Wall Street in that New York City town

G
Well that old man’s been workin’ in that plant most all of his life
Now his pension plan’s been cut in half and he can’t afford to die

When I look down and see his caloused hands
D C
Let me tell you friend it gets me fightin’ mad
