The parking lot behind Oasis Town Down the street from the Mexican Restaurant behind the Auto-Zone And the place that's hawking payday loans There's a Kmart and a KFC Fitness Center and an Applebees Wells Fargo and a Taco Johns A good time bar to Get your bad swerve on In a town that's named for razor blades All American but Chinese made Folks working hard for shrinking pay 21st Century, USA Out on 90 we might see you pass We got coal and methane gas We got jobs where the work is hard And stores to max out your credit cards In a town that ain't nowhere near Just like every town, every where Folks working hard for shrinking pay Say we have to hang on just a little bit longer And a savior will come our way We'll know him by the neon sign And the opulence he maintains If Amazon can deliver salvation I'll order it up on my phone With big brother watching me always Why must I always feel so alone Men working hard for not enough at best Women working just as hard for less They get together late at night at bars And bang each other like crashing cars Working hard but it don't seem enough Calloused hearts make even love seem tough Prescription pills to make the pain hurt less Until your calloused heart just needs a rest Look at your children and you hope and pray That they can conjure up a better day No one remembers how it got that way 21st Century, USA 21st Century, USA
