Intro: Em C G Am C D (2x)
Am
Cleveland, Janesville, Camden
C
Or East St. Louis, where they used to make
G D
The things that we would all use every day
Am
Now we've shipped it to Korea
C
China, Indonesia, left like ghost towns
G D Am C G D
The old west, laid to rest and left decayed
Am
They say, "Lets get with the program,
C
There's nothing like the globalisation"
G D
Of our pay-checks, bank accounts and place to stay
Am
Lets give free trade to the masses
C
Americans have assets
G D Em
Like satellite TV's, big cars, iPods and fancy dress

Left you drowning in the street
C D Em
Bills, a rope around your neck
C G Am
And this big old flatscreen TV

We're kept separate by the waters

Am
Now lets get out of the suburbs

These modern sprawling deserts
G D Em
And take back all those cities, towns and counties we once knew
C G Am
Left you drowning in the street
C D Em
Bills, a rope around your neck
C G Am
And this big old flatscreen TV
C D Em
Won't mean a thing to me when you're dead
C G
Left you drowning in the street
Am C G D Em
Well, bills, a rope around your neck
C G Am
And we'll talk about the hard times

The ones we ain't be leaving yet
