Tear this poorhouse down[00:00:31]
When you know how to build it back [00:00:37]
Hammer and nail between your heart[00:00:43]
And your hometown 'til you can carry[00:00:46]
This country on your back[00:00:50]
Mama glued the Keds sign on[00:01:00]
The back of my little white shoes[00:01:02]
Daddy never crossed the picket line [00:01:05]
It was hard but we made it through[00:01:08]
Only had one little pair of stonewashed jeans[00:01:11]
With a label on the back[00:01:14]
I'm a product of the never[00:01:17]
Give up American middle class[00:01:19]
Tear this poorhouse down[00:01:25]
When you know how to build it back [00:01:31]
Hammer and nail between your heart[00:01:37]
And your hometown 'til[00:01:40]
You can carry this country on your back[00:01:42]
I got my education at a school[00:01:53]
They could afford[00:01:56]
Scholarships went to the rich[00:01:59]
And the grants went to the poor[00:02:02]
So i stood behind the little downtown bar[00:02:04]
For spending money books and gas[00:02:08]
To be a certified member of the work[00:02:11]
Too much American middle class[00:02:13]
Now daddy can't get his pension[00:02:21]
Or Social Security[00:02:24]
Worked thirty damn years in a coal[00:02:27]
Mine feeding welfare families[00:02:29]
Struggle hard and hide it well [00:02:33]
You sure ain't rich and you sure as[00:02:36]
Hell ain't poor enough to get one little break[00:02:39]
'Cause everything would collapse[00:02:42]
Without the hardworking God-loving[00:02:45]
Members of the American middle class[00:02:47]
Tear this poorhouse down[00:02:53]
When you know how to build it back [00:02:59]
Hammer and nail between your heart[00:03:05]
And your hometown 'til[00:03:08]
You can carry this country on your back[00:03:10]
