Workin class by Walter Trout Lyrics

Genre: pop | Year: 2015

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
