Honest to goodness
The bars weren't open this morning
They must have been voting for the president or 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 was supposed to be the new world
It was better before
Before they voted for what's-his-name
This was supposed to be the new world
Flint, Ford, Auto, Mobile, 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 supposed to be the new world
Don't forget the Motor City
This was supposed 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
Before they voted for what's-his-name
This was supposed to be the new world
It was better before
Before they voted for what's-his-name
This was supposed to be the new world
Don't forget the Motor City
This was supposed to be the new world
Don't forget the Motor City
This was supposed to be the new world
