Bob Dylan - Union Sundown Lyrics
Well, my shoes, they come from singapore,My flashlights from taiwan,My tablecloths from malaysia,My belt buckles from the amazon.You know, this shirt I wear comes from the philippinesAnd the car I drive is a chevrolet,It was put together down in argentinaBy a guy makin thirty cents a day.Well, its sundown on the unionAnd whats made in the u.s.a.Sure was a good ideatil greed got in the way.Well, this silk dress is from hong kongAnd the pearls are from japan.Well, the dog collars from indiaAnd the flower pots from pakistan.All the furniture, it says made in brazilWhere a woman, she slaved for sureBringin home thirty cents a day to a family of twelve,You know, thats a lot of money to her.Well, its sundown on the unionAnd whats made in the u.s.a.Sure was a good ideatil greed got in the way.Well, you know, lots of people complainin that there is no work.I say, why you say that forWhen nothin you got is u.s.-made?They dont make nothin here no more,You know, capitalism is above the law.It say, it dont count less it sells.When it costs too much to build it at homeYou just build it cheaper someplace else.Well, its sundown on the unionAnd whats made in the u.s.a.Sure was a good ideatil 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 theyre 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 gardenIs gonna be against the law.Well, its sundown on the unionAnd whats made in the u.s.a.Sure was a good ideatil greed got in the way.Democracy dont rule the world,Youd better get that in your head.This world is ruled by violenceBut I guess thats better left unsaid.From broadway to the milky way,Thats a lot of territory indeedAnd a mans gonna do what he has to doWhen hes got a hungry mouth to feed.Well, its sundown on the unionAnd whats made in the u.s.a.Sure was a good ideatil greed got in the way
