we raise the flags and statues to our mission we've spoken out
  in slogans and in campaigns talked and talked on almost every issue
  where oppression of the masses is the constant theme but what does this mean to a little town in iowa where the jobs have gone downstream down south and out
  where their fingers used to work to the bone all day
  profits rise and fall and starvation is a game
  where is the food that used to cover their table
  where is the sense of pride at the end of the day
  to the face of a thriving corporation what could a dying family
  possibly say
  on the face of every american worker
  is the constant fear that their job won't remain
  as the c.e.o is planning his vacation to kill or be killed is the nature of the beast
  stand in line take a number you sell your soul then watch it crumble
  into a pile of rubble that used to be
  your job
  your life
  your family's daily bread dry and stale malnourished kids
  the house is sold for a degrading bid
  do we continue to talk or do we take a hammer to their chains
