John Anderson The Greatest Story Never Told Lyrics

My daddy taught me in this country everyone's the same
You work hard for your dollar and you never pass the
blame
When it don't go your way

Now I see all these big shots whinin' on my evening
news
They say they're losin' billions and it's up to me and
you
To come runnin' to the rescue

Well, pardon me if I don't shed a tear
But they're sellin' make believe and we don't buy that
here

'Cause in the real world they're shuttin' Detroit down
While the boss man takes his bonus pay and jets on out
of town
And DC's bailin' out them bankers as the farmers
auction ground

Yeah, while they're living it up on Wall Street in that
New York City town
Here in the real world they're shuttin' Detroit down
Here in the real world they're shuttin' Detroit down

Well, that old man's been workin' in that plant most
all his life
Now his pension plan's been cut in half and he can't
afford to die And it's a cryin' shame 'cause he ain't the one to
blame

And when I look down and see those calloused hands
Well, let me tell you friend it makes me fightin' mad

Here in the real world they're shuttin' Detroit down
While the boss man takes his bonus pay and jets on out
of town
And DC's bailin' out them bankers as the farmers
auction ground

Yeah, while they're livin' it up on Wall Street in that
New York City town
Here in the real world they're shuttin' Detroit down

In the real world they're shuttin' Detroit down
While the boss man takes his bonus pay and jets on out
of town
DC's bailin' out them bankers as the farmers auction
ground

Yeah, while they're livin' it up on Wall Street in that
New York City town
Here in the real world they're shuttin' Detroit down
In the real world they're shuttin' Detroit down
In the real world they're shuttin' Detroit down
