DThe assembly plant moved to Mexico, the domestic sales started getting slow
but the Gbills kept pooring in, me and Abeck took it on the chin
And the Dday the landlord threw us out, Becky she threw in the towel
GShe had enough at last
Aof these modern grapes of wrath
Chorus:
GSaddam Huessien still has a job but DI don't
GTonight he'll sleep in a big warm bed but AI won't
You'll see me Dstanding in front of a bus stop both
with a Gsign that reads will work for food
and Emlater I'll take my Gplace around the trash barrel Afire
wheres the Gpot of gold for a Astreet man named dDesire
It seems like a million years ago, I faced each day full of hopehonest labor with my hands, making a livin, making plans
Well I never was much at drinking before but these days its all that keeps me warm Its still hard to belive
This could ever happen to me
