Luyện nghe bài hát We Can't Make It Here

Theres a Vietnam Vet with a cardboard
Sitting there by the left line
The on his wheelchair flapping in the breeze
One leg missing and both free

No ones paying mind to him
The V.A. budgets stretched so thin
And now theres coming back from the Mideast war
We cant make it anymore

And that big ol building was the mill
fed our kids and it paid our bills
But turned us out and they closed the doors
'Cause we cant it here anymore

You see those pallets piled up on the loading
Theyre just gonna sit there til rot
Cause theres nothing to ship, nothing to
Just concrete and rusted tracks

Empty around the square
Theres a needle in the gutter and glass
You dont come down here unless youre to score
We cant it here anymore

The bars open but man its slow
The tip light and the registers low
The bartender dont much to say
The regular crowd gets each day

Some have maxed out all their credit
Some are working two jobs and in cars
Minimum wage wont pay for a roof, pay for a drink
If you gotta have just try it yourself Mr. C.E.O.
See how far 5.15 an hour go
Take a part time job at one your
I bet you cant make it here

And theres a high school girl with a dream
Just like the pictures in the
She found on the floor of the
A with kids can forget all that

If she comes up whatll she do
Forget the career and about school
Can she live on Live on hope?
High on Jesus or on dope
When its way too to just say no
You make it here anymore

Now Im stocking shirts in the store
Just the ones we made before
Cept one came from Singapore
I we cant make it here anymore

Should I hate a for the shade of their skin
Or the of their eyes or the shape Im in
Should I hate em for having our today
No I hate the men the jobs away

I can see them all now, they haunt my
All lily white and clean
never known want, theyll never know need
Their shit dont stink and their kids bleed
Their kids wont bleed in their little war
And we cant it here anymore

Will I work for food, I die for oil
Will for power and to us the spoils
The get to pay less tax
The working poor get to fall through the

So let em eat let em eat cake
Let em eat shit, whatever it
can join the Air Force or join the Corps
If they make it here anymore

So thats how it is, thats we got
If the president wants to it or not
You can read it in the paper, it on the wall
it on the wind if youre listening at all
Get out of that limo, us in the eye
Call us on the cell phone us all why

In Dayton or Portland Maine
Or a cotton gin out on the great high
Thats done closed along with the school
And the hospital and the swimming

Dust devils in the noonday heat
Theres in the alley and trash in the street
Gang graffiti on a boxcar
We cant make it here
