This about sums up my feelings on the situation.

Shuttin' Detroit Down

My daddy taught me that 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
About how they’re losin’ billions and how it’s up to me and you
To come running to the rescue -

Well pardon me if I don’t shed a tear
‘cause they’re selling make-believe,and we don’t buy that here.

'Cause in the real world they're shutting Detroit down
While the boss man takes his bonus pay and jets on out of town
And D.C.’s bailing out the 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 there shuttin’ Detroit down
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 crying shame, ‘cause he ain’t the one to blame -
When I look down and see his callused hands,
Let me tell you friend, it gets me fightin’ mad.

'Cause in the real world they're shutting Detroit down
While the boss man takes his bonus pay and jets on out of town
And D.C.’s bailing out the 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 there shuttin’ Detroit down.
They’re shuttin’ Detroit down.

Yeah while there’ living it up on Wall Street in that New York City town
Here in the real world there shuttin’ Detroit down
Here in the real world there shuttin’ Detroit down

In the real world they’re shuttin' Detroit down, they’re shuttin’ Detroit down.
