I've lived in several places
That were known as auto towns
In which very few cars
Are made at anymore
And the people are gone
The town's left bare to the bone
And the few that remained poor
Worn down to the core
And too many workers
Left broke without pay
Cause too many leaders
Shipped the jobs away
And this plan that has worked for the wealthy
Has ruined the many lives
That live without pay
And the Auto Town blues
That they're singing today
Has taken them down
As they live without pay
These workers that labored
To profit the rich
Are the homeless now forced
To live out in the street
The leaders that lead
With profit in mind
Have totally forgot
The ones left behind
The concerns they have
Are selfish indeed
They care to receive only
Infested with greed
But the day will come soon
That corrupt leaders will fall
And all the powers they had
Will be gone forever
Because power that you abuse
Is power that you loose
And the ones that work hard
Should live like they choose
And the Auto Town blues
Will be far and away
What once took them down
To where they lived without pay
Will be gone forever
Without a return
And the ones that have labored
Can live without a concern
