There?s no work to be found, everybody?s higher on the ground
           G              A                D   G-D
Since the jobs all went abroad across the sea

Well the union trumped the unions, now the little guy is frozen

Bm D A? Bm D A? Bm D A? D    G-D

               Bm                         A
What Hartford said wasn?t true, they all know what you do

Chuck says it?s all downhill since Hoover
           Bm                            A
Traps and trees can be enough to eat, nobody?s neighbors got to cheat
      G            A                   D    G-D
Or steal another gallon of that Texas tea? black gold that is

Who can copyright tomatoes, stop the medicine where it grows

Maybe corporate farmers will sell it over the counter
            Bm                              A
I heard a tropic breeze is nicer, nothin? tastes like curried lobster
       G         A           D        G-D
Some people run away from democracy? to be more free
