lyrics

No we don’t race Impalas anymore
Even though we broke our backs on the factory floor
The gas is unleaded, but the water’s not these days
We used to work for maximum gain
Now we just drink maximum pain
So we moved up North from a Southern town
Made a fair day’s wage
It was going down
You could buy a house
Work the factory
Raise a glass in the air as we cheers to a hope and a thought of a thing
That we once called American Dreams
Times were rough in the 80s
Jobs all went away
Working twice the hours for half the pay
Never gonna get a break
Take me off of the line
They got a robot to replace me
The future isn’t right while I lie awake at night
Yeah I wonder when they’ll save me
‘Cause we don’t race Impalas anymore
Even though we broke our backs on the factory floor
The gas is unleaded, but the water’s not these days
We used to work for maximum gain
Now we just drink maximum pain
A hundred miles away Nestlé’s sucking it up
But I can’t get a drink from my sink
This bottle water baby
It’ll give me time to think
How winter’s coming again
And it’s cold to shower this way
For the last five years
I’ve been shedding tears
And there’s nothing to replace them

‘Cause we don’t race Impalas anymore
Even though we broke our backs on the factory floor
The gas is unleaded, but the water’s not these days
We used to work for maximum gain
Now we just drink maximum pain
