Union Sundown

Well, my shoes, they come from

SingaporeMy flashlights from

TaiwanMy tablecloths from

MalaysiaMy belt buckles from the

AmazonYou know, this shirt

I wear comes from the

Philippines

And the car

I drive is a

ChevroletIt was put together down in

ArgentinaBy a guy makin' thirty cents a day

Well, it's sundown on the union

And what's made in the

U.S.ASure was a good idea

Till greed got in the way

Well, this silk dress is from

Hong KongAnd the pearls are from

JapanWell, the dog collars from

IndiaAnd the flower pots from

PakistanAll the furniture, it says "Made in Brazil"

Where a woman, she slaved for sure

Bringin' home thirty cents a day to a family of twelve

You know, that's a lot of money to her

Well, it's sundown on the union

And what's made in the

U.S.ASure was a good idea

Till greed got in the way

Well, you know, lots of people complainin' that there is no work

I say, Why you say that for

When nothin' you got is

U.S.-made?

They don't make nothin' here no more

You know, capitalism is above the law

It say, "It don't count less it sells."

When it costs too much to build it at home

You just build it cheaper someplace else

Well, it's sundown on the union

And what's made in the

U.S.ASure was a good idea

Till greed got in the way

Well, the job that you used to have

They gave it to somebody down in

El Salvador

The unions are big business, friend

And they're goin' out like a dinosaur

They used to grow food in

KansasNow they want to grow it on the moon and eat it raw

I can see the day coming when even your home garden

Is gonna be against the law

Well, it's sundown on the union

And what's made in the

U.S.ASure was a good idea

Till greed got in the way

Democracy don't rule the world

You'd better get that in your head

This world is ruled by violence

But I guess that's better left unsaid

From Broadway to the milky way

That's a lot of territory indeed

And a man's gonna do what he has to do

When he's got a hungry mouth to feed

Well, it's sundown on the union

And what's made in the

U.S.ASure was a good idea

Till greed got in the way
