VERSE 1-Tabbed by Pat S.
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 C Em
Here in the real world there�re shuttin� Detroit down.

Here in the real world they�re shuttin� Detroit down.�

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 

C
And it�s a crying shame �cause he ain�t the one to blame
D 

When I look down and see his caloused hands 

D C
Let me tell you friend it gets me fightin� mad 


Chorus
