lyrics

Just look around
At this once productive town
Now deadweight off the interstate
And storefronts crumbling down

The tale of our time
As old as humankind
Of honest men being pushed around
I don’t know what to say
But we have been betrayed

Betrayed Betrayed
By the men who profit off what we make

Best learn a trade
That can’t be shipped away
Because after taxes
And market forces
There’s not much anyway

They all take a part
The hawks and the bleeding hearts
The finance whores and the circuit courts
The bankers and the state
And we have been betrayed

Betrayed, Betrayed
By the men who profit off what we make
Yeah we have been betrayed, betrayed, betrayed
And still they order us around and we obey
