[00:11.880]There's a Vietnam Vet with a cardboard sign
[00:15.120]Sitting there by the left turn line
[00:17.820]The flag on his wheelchair flapping in the breeze
[00:20.880]One leg missing and both hands free
[00:26.520]No one?s paying much mind to him
[00:29.190]The V.A. budget?s just stretched so thin
[00:31.710]And now there's more coming back from the Mideast war
[00:34.890]We can't make it here anymore
[00:47.370]And that big ol?building was the textile mill
[00:50.310]That fed our kids and it paid our bills
[00:53.040]But they turned us out and they closed the doors
[00:55.890]'Cause we can't make it here anymore
[01:02.310]You see those pallets piled up on the loading dock
[01:05.880]They're just gonna sit there ?til they rot
[01:08.610]?Cause there's nothing to ship, nothing to pack
[01:11.520]Just busted concrete and rusted tracks
[01:14.640]Empty storefronts around the square
[01:17.160]There's a needle in the gutter and glass everywhere
[01:19.740]You don't come down here unless you're looking to score
[01:22.920]We can't make it here anymore
[01:35.490]The bar?s still open but man it?s slow
[01:38.580]The tip jar?s light and the register?s low
[01:41.190]The bartender don't have much to say
[01:44.190]The regular crowd gets thinner each day
[01:52.200]Some have maxed out all their credit cards
[01:55.080]Some are working two jobs and living in cars
[01:58.530]Minimum wage won't pay for a roof, won't pay for a drink
[02:02.430]If you gotta have proof just try it yourself Mr. C.E.O.
[02:06.540]See how far 5.15 an hour will go
[02:09.419]Take a part time job at one your stores
[02:12.270]I bet you can't make it here anymore
[02:46.350]And there's a high school girl with a bourgeois dream
[02:50.790]Just like the pictures in the magazine
[02:53.280]She found on the floor of the laundromat
[02:56.340]A woman with kids can forget all that
[03:03.090]If she comes up pregnant what'll she do
[03:06.240]Forget the career and forget about school
[03:08.910]Can she live on faith?Live on hope?
[03:12.030]High on Jesus or hooked on d**e
[03:14.520]When it?s way too late to just say no
[03:17.580]You can't make it here anymore
[03:35.730]Now I'm stocking shirts in the Wal-Mart store
[03:38.910]Just like the ones we made before
[03:41.610]?Cept this one came from Singapore
[03:44.040]I guess we can't make it here anymore
[03:51.180]Should I hate a people for the shade of their skin
[03:54.270]Or the shape of their eyes or the shape I'm in
[03:56.910]Should I hate ?em for having our jobs today
[03:59.790]No I hate the men sent the jobs away
[04:06.750]I can see them all now, they haunt my dreams
[04:09.870]All lily white and squeaky clean
[04:12.660]They've never known want, they'll never know need
[04:16.079]Their sh*t don't stink and their kids won't bleed
[04:18.360]Their kids won't bleed in their damn little war
[04:21.120]And we can't make it here anymore
[04:33.720]Will I work for food, will I die for oil
[04:36.660]Will kill for power and to us the spoils
[04:39.630]The billionaires get to pay less tax
[04:42.480]The working poor get to fall through the cracks
[04:49.320]So let ?em eat jellybeans let ?em eat cake
[04:52.470]Let ?em eat sh*t, whatever it takes
[04:55.050]They can join the Air Force or join the Corps
[04:57.930]If they can't make it here anymore
[05:16.380]So that's how it is, that's what we got
[05:19.200]If the president wants to admit it or not
[05:21.930]You can read it in the paper, read it on the wall
[05:25.080]Hear it on the wind if you're listening at all
[05:27.600]Get out of that limo, look us in the eye
[05:30.720]Call us on the cell phone tell us all why
[05:33.390]In Dayton Ohio or Portland Maine
[05:36.180]Or a cotton gin out on the great high plains
[05:39.060]That's done closed down along with the school
[05:41.550]And the hospital and the swimming pool
[05:44.880]Dust devils dance in the noonday heat
[05:47.490]There's rats in the alley and trash in the street
[05:50.550]Gang graffiti on a boxcar door
[05:54.570]We can't make it here anymore
