I was workin' in a factory On the edge of town The company moved to Mexico They closed the factory down My next door neighbor He got a PHD Now he's in the unemployment line Standing next to me
Down on the corner They are boarding up the store They call us the working class But we ain't working We ain't working anymore! We ain't working no more...
People losing their houses They got no place to go But there's a million dollar bonus For the local CEO They're giving all the money To the brokers and the banks I asked them for just a little bit They said : 'thanks, but no thanks'
This morning the boss men He showed me the door They call us the working class But we ain't working We ain't working anymore! We ain't working no more...
(guitar solo)
They got a stimulus package They say that's what it has to be Is it stimulating you? It sure ain't stimulating me They are handing out money More every day I'm still waiting for my cut But nothing ever comes my way
Lately I've been wondering What I was working for They call us the working class But we ain't working We ain't working anymore! We ain't working no more... We ain't working no more We ain't working no more
