  32 You know, this shirt I wear comes from the Philippines
  33                                   A
  34 And the car I drive is a Chevrolet,
  35        A                            G
  36 It was put together down in Argentina
  37                                A
  38 By a guy makin' thirty cents a day.

  49 Well, this silk dress is from Hong Kong
  50 And the pearls are from Japan.
  51 Well, the dog collar's from India
  52 And the flower pot's from Pakistan.
  53 All the furniture, it says &quot;Made in Brazil&quot;
  54 Where a woman, she slaved for sure
  55 Bringin' home thirty cents a day to a family of twelve,
  56 You know, that's a lot of money to her.
  57
  58 Well, it's sundown on the union
  59 And what's made in the U.S.A.
  60 Sure was a good idea

  62
  63 Well, you know, lots of people complainin' that there is no work.
  64 I say, &quot;Why you say that for
  65 When nothin' you got is U.S.-made?&quot;
  66 They don't make nothin' here no more,
  67 You know, capitalism is above the law.
  68 It say, &quot;It don't count 'less it sells.&quot;
  69 When it costs too much to build it at home
  70 You just build it cheaper someplace else.
  71
  72 Well, it's sundown on the union
  73 And what's made in the U.S.A.
  74 Sure was a good idea
  75 'Til greed got in the way.
  76
  77 Well, the job that you used to have,
  78 They gave it to somebody down in El Salvador.
  79 The unions are big business, friend,
  80 And they're goin' out like a dinosaur.
  81 They used to grow food in Kansas
  82 Now they want to grow it on the moon and eat it raw.
  83 I can see the day coming when even your home garden
  84 Is gonna be against the law.
  85
  86 Well, it's sundown on the union
  87 And what's made in the U.S.A.
  88 Sure was a good idea
  89 'Til greed got in the way.

  91 Democracy don't rule the world,
  92 You'd better get that in your head.
  93 This world is ruled by violence
  94 But I guess that's better left unsaid.
  95 From Broadway to the Milky Way,
  96 That's a lot of territory indeed
  97 And a man's gonna do what he has to do
  98 When he's got a hungry mouth to feed.
  99
 100 Well, it's sundown on the union
 101 And what's made in the U.S.A.
 102 Sure was a good idea
 103 'Til greed got in the way.
