intro : A

verse 1 :
A G
well , my shoes , they come from singapore ,
A
my flashlight’s from taiwan ,
A G
my tablecloth’s from malaysia ,
A
my belt buckle’s from the amazon .
A G
you know , this shirt i wear comes from the philippines
A
and the car i drive is a chevrolet ,
A G
it was put together down in argentina
A
by a guy makin’ thirty cents a day .

chorus :
D A
well , it’s sundown on the union
D A
and what’s made in the u . s . A .
D A
sure was a good idea
D E A
’til greed got in the way .

verse 2 :
well , this silk dress is from hong kong
and the pearls are from japan .
well , the dog collar’s from india
and the flower pot’s from pakistan .
all the furniture , it says “made in brazil”
where a woman , she slaved for sure
bringin’ home thirty cents a day to a family of twelve ,
you know , that’s a lot of money to her .

chorus

verse 3 :
well , you know , lots of people complainin’ that there is no work .
i say , “why you say that for
when nothin’ you got is u . s . – made?”
they don’t make nothin’ here no more ,
you know , capitalism is above the law .
it say , “it don’t count ’less it sells . ”
when it costs too much to build it at home
you just build it cheaper someplace else .

chorus

verse 4 :
well , the job that you used to have ,
they gave it to somebody down in el salvador .
the unions are big business , friend ,
and they’re goin’ out like a dinosaur .
they used to grow food in kansas
now they want to grow it on the moon and eat it raw .
i can see the day coming when even your home garden
is gonna be against the law .

chorus

verse 5 :
democracy don’t rule the world ,
you’d better get that in your head .
this world is ruled by violence
but i guess that’s better left unsaid .
from broadway to the milky way ,
that’s a lot of territory indeed
and a man’s gonna do what he has to do
when he’s got a hungry mouth to feed .

chorus
