It's awful hard to find a job
On one side the government, the other the mob
Hey, hey ain't that right
The workin' man's in for a hell of a fight
Oh this country sure looks good to me
But these fences are comin' apart at every nail
Way up on the old dew line
Some of the boys were feelin' fine
A big light flashed across the sky
But somethin' else went slippin' by
Meanwhile at the Pentagon
The brass was a wonderin' what went wrong
Oh this country sure looks good to me
But these fences are comin' apart at every nail
Hey, hey ain't that right
The workin' man's in for a hell of a fight
Oh this country sure looks good to me
But these fences are comin' apart at every nail
