[00:13.37]Cardboard floors and cardboard walls cardboard ceiling too
[00:19.79]No running water no lights to turn off for you
[00:25.73]You're out on the street you got noting to eat
[00:28.68]With your wife and your little girl too
[00:31.90]And night's getting colder like society's shoulder
[00:34.72]And there is nothing that you can do and you ask
[00:38.42]Who took the endings from the fairytales we were told
[00:44.17]And who took the pride and dignity out of growing old
[00:50.45]And when did the government quit lending a helping hand
[00:56.69]And who took the promise from the promised land
[01:12.51]You work long hours never missed a day
[01:15.44]You believed in the american dream
[01:18.51]And like most of us you lived a little bit beyond your means
[01:24.88]When you heard the news about the factory's move
[01:27.92]A feather could have knocked you down
[01:30.95]And you wanted to cry but you held it inside as you watched you're dying town
[01:37.15]And some went south and some went west and some never went at all
[01:43.34]But most got hustled by the Washington shuffle that never returned your calls
[01:49.32]And you ask who took the endings from the fairytales we were told
[01:55.78]And who took the pride and dignity out of growing old
[02:01.74]And tell me and when did the government quit lending a helping hand
[02:08.45]And who took the promise from the promised land
[02:23.99]For twenty-five years you forged the steel
[02:27.07]That built America and turned the wheels
[02:30.16]For twenty-five years and now they want you starting over like a twenty-five
[02:36.40]So you went by the book and you played by the rules
[02:39.66]Now you're out on the street like a pack of wolves
[02:42.61]And a cold wind blows from the north all the way down to Mexico
[02:48.41]And you ask who took the endings from the fairytales that you heard
[02:54.99]And who took the charity right our of the holy word
[03:00.60]And tell me when did the government quit lending a helping hand
[03:07.19]And who took the promise from the promised land
[03:17.07]Tell me who took the promise from the promised land
