They're shutting down the factory
Putting padlocks on the door
Laid off a thousand workers
Shipped their jobs offshore
Welcome to the Third World – Third World America
Welcome to the Third World – Third World America
Packing up our bags on moving day
Sheriff knocking on our door
Everything we own out by the curb
It ain't our house no more
Living in the Third World
Sleeping in our Caravan
Keeping us warm at night
Until it's towed by the repo man
Rich man eating caviar
Boss man drinks champagne
While children go to bed hungry at night
Can't you feel their pain?
Children in the Third World
Got hungry mouths to feed
Surviving in the Third World
Begging for what they need
Now you can walk down any street in any town in America
And you'll see all those foreclosure signs
Then you drive downtown to the heart of the city
See the families waiting on food lines
And all those displaced families living out on the street
They need somewhere to stay
Meanwhile we got all those abandoned houses
Just boarded up and rotting away
Wasted in the Third World - Third World America
Wasted in the Third World - Third World America
Rich man he got silver
And Gold hanging 'round his neck
Well I don't need none of that
I got me an ounce of lead
I try not to think about the life I used to have
I'm just thankful for the things I got
And I got more than a lot of folks have today
Got me three squares and a cot…
Living in the Third world - Gulag America
Living in the Third World - Third World America
