[VERSE 1]
[A]The parking lot behind [Em]Oasis Tan,
[C]down the street from the [G]Mexican
[A]restaurant behind the [Em]AutoZone,
[C]and the place that's hawking [G]payday loans,
[A]there's a K-Mart and a [Em]KFC,
[C]Fitness Center and an [G]Applebee's.
[A]Wells Fargo and a [Em]Taco John's,
[C]Good Time Bar to get your [G]bad s[D/F#]werve o[Em]n.

[VERSE 2]
[D]In a town that's named for r[A]azor blades,
[C]"All American", but [G]Chinese-made.
[A]Folks working hard for [Em]shrinking pay,
[C]21st Century [G]USA.

[VERSE 3]
[A]Out I-90 we might [Em]see you pass.
[C]We got coal and [G]methane gas,
[A]we got jobs where the [Em]work is hard,
[C]and stores to max out your [G]cre[D/F#]dit car[Em]ds.

[VERSE 4]
[D]In a town that ain't n[A]owhere near,
[C]just like every town [G]everywhere,
[D]folks working hard for [A]shrinking pay.

[BRIDGE]
You[G] say we have to [C]hang on just a [G]little bit longer
and the [D]Savior will come our [A]way.
[C]We'll know him by the [G]neon sign
and the [D]opulence he mai[A]ntains.
[C]If Amazon can [G]deliver salvation
I'll or[D]der it up on my[A] phone.
[C]With Big Brother[G] watching me always
why [Em]must I always [D]feel so a[A]lone?

[VERSE 5]
[A]Men working hard for not [Em]enough at best,
[C]women working just as [G]hard for less.
[A]They get together late at [Em]night at bars
[C]and bang each other like [G]crashing cars.
[A]Working hard, but it don't [Em]seem enough,
[C]calloused hearts make even [G]love seem tough.
[A]Prescription pills to make the [Em]pain hurt less
[C]until your calloused heart just[G] ne[D/F#]eds a r[Em]est.

[VERSE 6]
[D]Look at your children and you [A]hope and pray
[C]they can conjure up a [G]better day.
[D]No one remembers how it [A]got that way. [C] [G]
