STREET DOGS LYRICS

"Rust Belt Nation"

Mine eyes have seen the dawning, the collapsing of our land
We have bought and sold the rights to every woman, child and man
It is in the eyes, our nation cries, a people once so strong
Greed and fear keep marching on

Viva viva revolution
Viva viva revolution
Viva viva revolution
The truth is marching…
(Wake the fuck up declarations)

It was the winter time in the blizzard of ’78.
Looked to my fathers eyes, I could see his uncertainty.
A lack of gas, lack of cash, an economic crash…
A baby boomers spirit that was built to last.
And he fought, yeah he would fight to win.

And he had no hesitation,
We were all a part of a rust belt nation.
The wolves may sense your desperation
On a working mans lament of a rust belt nation.

On came the eighties, when it came to me,
It's not hard to see, they shipped it overseas
From Detroit, Ohio, Chicago,
Pittsburgh, Fall River and Buffalo
The stamp made in America,
Declines more and more

Shotgun realization
We were on our way to a rust belt nation
Endgame devastation
When we end up as a rust belt nation

Bring it back!

We are legion expect us

Rust belt spreading city to city in a failed trickle down economy
What was once unthinkable got china buying land from uncle Sam
Nafta made no fair trade too easy for the money to relocate
You ship it out and then you ship it back in

American dream termination
We are all part of a rust belt nation
Wake up declaration
Gotta build out from a rust belt nation
Knock knock knock middle class desperation
And the root cause is a rust belt nation

Make it here don’t send it there
You make it in America you bring it back home
Make it here don’t send it there
You make it in America you bring it back home
We have a war on our shore
We the people need a whole lot more
Make it here don’t send it there
You make it in America you bring it back home

Knock knock middle class desperation
We are all part of a rust belt nation
