Union Sundown

Well, my shoes, they come from Singapore My flashlight's from Taiwan My tablecloth's from Malaysia My belt buckle's from the Amazon You know, this shirt I wear comes from the Philippines And the car I drive is a Chevrolet It was put together down in Argentina By a guy making thirty cents a day Well, it's sundown on the union And what's made in the USA Sure was a good idea 'Til greed got in the way Well, this silk dress is from Hong Kong And the pearls are from Japan Well, the dog collar's from India And the flower pot's from Pakistan All the furniture it said 'Made in Brazil' Where a woman, she slaved for sure Bringing home thirty cents a day to a family of twelve You know, that's a lot of money to her Well, it's sundown on the union And what's made in the USA Sure was a good idea 'Til greed got in the way Well, you know lots of people are complaining that there is no work I say,"Why you say that for When nothing you got is US made?" They don't make nothing here no more You know, capitalism is above the law I say,"It don't count 'less it sells" When it costs too much to build it at home You just build it cheaper someplace else Well, it's sundown on the union And what's made in the USA Sure was a good idea 'Til greed got in the way Well, the job that you used to have They gave it to somebody down in El Salvador The unions are big business, friend And they're going out like a dinosaur But they used to grow food in Kansas Now they grow it on the moon and eat it raw I can see the day coming when even your home garden Is gonna be against the law Well, it's sundown on the union And what's made in the USA Sure was a good idea 'Til greed got in the way Democracy don't rule the world You better get that in your head This world is ruled by violence But I guess that's better left unsaid From Broadway to the Milky Way That's a lot of territory indeed And a man's gonna do what he has to do When he's got a hungry mouth to feed Well, it' sundown on the union And what's made in the USA Sure was a good idea 'Til greed got in the way --- Union Sundown - Bob Dylan and Clydie King
