The New World

Honest to goodness, the bars weren't open this morning
They must have been voting for a new president of something
Do you have a quarter?
I said, "Yes", because I did, honest to goodness
The tears have been falling all over this country's face

It was better before, before they voted for 'What's his name'
This is suppose to be the new world
It was better before, before they voted for 'What's his name'
This is suppose to be the new world

Flint Ford Automobile, Alabama
Windshield Wiper, Buffalo, New York
Gary, Indiana, don't forget the Motor City
Baltimore and D.C., now all we need is

Don't forget the Motor City
This was suppose to be the new world
Don't forget the Motor City
This was suppose to be the new world

All we need is money, just give us what you can spare
Twenty or thirty pounds of potatoes or twenty or thirty beers
A turkey on Thanksgiving like alms for the poor
All we need are the necessities and more

It was better before they voted for 'What's his name'
This is suppose to be the new world
It was better before they voted for 'What's his name'
This is suppose to be the new world

Don't forget the Motor City
This was suppose to be the new world
