Burgers Of Wrath lyrics

Crossing the land On vacation Saw lots of families So much like ours All they got left Piled in their cars Can't get those desperate faces Off our minds Mm-hm Hm-hm Hmmm But now we're stuck On that same road Company shipped our jobs To Mexico Soup is good food You made a good meal But don't blame us Blame the Chinese Hee-hee Hee-hee Heeee Seasons of rust Age of decline Make cars that fall apart People get wise More sour grapes that never Turn into wine Just burgers of wrath Reached the Northwest There's nothing left Forest strip-mined away The fish are dead Executives Twist things around Got people they wiped out All blaming owls Hoo-hoo hoo-hoo hoo The ranger says she hates to As she kicks us out Our 30 days are up At this campground Tourist yells, "Get a job!" There's none around Just Burgers of Wrath Par for the curse We're on the streets Whole family begging change In Fog City New job don't mean Roof over our heads Can't save enough For first and last month's rent Heh-heh Heh-heh Heh Try not to snap Don't hit the kids It's bad enough Growing up like this A storage space Guard shines a light We huddle in our locker Quiet as mice Just like mice We've even got Tuberculosis on the rise Thousand more banks fail Yet the crisis is denied President says: Sacrifice There's no New Deal this time Just burgers of wrath More burgers of wrath
