The parking lot beyond Oasis town Down the street from the Mexican Restaurant beyond the Auto Zone And the place that's hawking payday loans There's a K-Mart and a KFC Fitting Sooner and an Applebee's Wells Fargo and a Taco John's 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 workin' hard for shrinkin' 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 everywhere Folks workin' hard for shrinkin' pay They 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 SongtexteAnd the opulence He maintains If Amazon can deliver salvation I'll order it up on my phone With Big Brother a-watching 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 They can conjure up a better day No one remembers how it got that way 21st century USA 21st century USA Aus Songtexte Mania
