[00:00.00]Rust Belt Fields - Slaid Cleaves
[00:15.98]This is my town
[00:17.39]
[00:19.01]Out in the rust belt fields
[00:21.35]
[00:23.00]We were bangin' out Buicks
[00:25.14]
[00:26.63]And Oldsmobiles
[00:28.61]
[00:30.80]There was always a job
[00:33.26]
[00:34.57]And the money was there
[00:37.09]
[00:38.53]Some say we got a little lazy
[00:40.67]
[00:41.55]Nobody seemed to care
[00:44.51]
[00:46.77]But they figured it out
[00:48.83]
[00:50.33]And shipped the elbow grease
[00:52.72]
[00:54.24]Down to Mexico
[00:56.52]
[00:57.27]And off to the Chinese
[00:59.93]
[01:02.00]And I learned a little something
[01:04.45]
[01:05.30]'Bout how things are
[01:07.96]
[01:10.84]No one remembers your name
[01:13.18]Just for working hard
[01:14.89]
[01:21.84]Drove into the ground
[01:23.89]
[01:25.45]Till your factory's cold
[01:27.83]
[01:29.37]Then they tear it all down
[01:31.53]
[01:32.54]And the parts get sold
[01:35.38]
[01:37.08]Come the bankers now
[01:39.59]
[01:40.96]Pickin' over the bones
[01:43.49]
[01:44.89]I got three more neighbors now
[01:48.06]'Bout to lose their homes
[01:50.72]
[01:52.81]'Cause they figured it out
[01:55.00]
[01:56.80]And shipped the elbow grease
[01:58.87]
[02:00.51]Down to Mexico
[02:02.89]
[02:03.62]And off to the Chinese
[02:06.17]
[02:08.40]And I learned a little something
[02:10.75]
[02:11.56]'Bout how things are
[02:14.27]
[02:17.04]No one gets a bonus
[02:18.40]
[02:19.22]For bloody knuckles and scars
[02:21.60]
[02:24.76]No one remembers your name
[02:27.27]Just for working hard
[02:29.22]
[02:51.53]There's a casino boat
[02:53.37]
[02:55.26]It's up around Boon
[02:57.67]
[02:59.25]Think I'll buy me a bottle
[03:01.23]
[03:02.34]And a motel room
[03:04.83]
[03:07.01]Put all I have left
[03:09.29]
[03:10.78]On a little black square
[03:13.37]
[03:14.81]Risk it all like the big boys
[03:16.86]
[03:17.89]Like I don't even care
[03:20.53]
[03:22.64]They'll drive you into the ground
[03:24.92]
[03:26.28]Till your engine's cold
[03:29.28]
[03:30.28]Call in the auctioneer
[03:32.24]
[03:33.30]As the banks foreclose
[03:36.60]
[03:38.12]And I learned a little something
[03:40.33]
[03:41.40]'Bout how things are
[03:44.03]
[03:46.49]No one gets a bonus
[03:48.11]
[03:49.01]For bloody knuckles and scars
[03:51.46]
[03:54.25]No one remembers your name
[03:56.96]Just for working hard
