| Lyrics: | by Bob Dylan
Well, my shoes, they come from Singapore,
My flashlight's from
Taiwan,
My tablecloth's from Malaysia,
My belt buckle's from the Amazon.
You know,
this shirt I wear comes from the Philippines
And the car I drive is a Chevrolet,
It was
put together down in Argentina
By a guy makin' thirty cents a day.
Well, it's
sundown on the union
And what's made in the U.S.A.
Sure was a good idea
'Til greed
got in the way.
Well, this silk dress is from Hong Kong
And the pearls are from
Japan.
Well, the dog collar's from India
And the flower pot's from Pakistan.
All the
furniture, it says "Made in Brazil"
Where a woman, she slaved for sure
Bringin' home
thirty cents a day to a family of twelve,
You know, that's a lot of money to
her.
Well, it's sundown on the union
And what's made in the U.S.A.
Sure was a
good idea
'Til greed got in the way.
Well, you know, lots of people complainin'
that there is no work.
I say, "Why you say that for
When nothin' you got is
U.S.-made?"
They don't make nothin' here no more,
You know, capitalism is above the
law.
It say, "It don't count 'less it sells."
When it costs too much to build it at
home
You just build it cheaper someplace else.
Well, it's sundown on the
union
And what's made in the U.S.A.
Sure was a good idea
'Til 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 they're goin' out like a
dinosaur.
They used to grow food in Kansas
Now they want to grow it on the moon and eat it
raw.
I can see the day coming when even your home garden
Is gonna be against the
law.
Well, it's sundown on the union
And what's made in the U.S.A.
Sure was a
good idea
'Til greed got in the way.
Democracy don't rule the world,
You'd
better get that in your head.
This world is ruled by violence
But I guess that's better
left unsaid.
From Broadway to the Milky Way,
That's a lot of territory indeed
And a
man's gonna do what he has to do
When he's got a hungry mouth to feed.
Well, it's
sundown on the union
And what's made in the U.S.A.
Sure was a good idea
'Til greed
got in the way |
