Blue Collar Joe

blue collar Joe,
he's standing in line...
aint no trains to hop,

aint no trucks to pop...
he's standing in line,
for a handout, and a hand up....

he made your furniture,
he made your cars.
he wove your cloth....

he made boxes and tools,
he worked your steel.
he made just the right parts

for the right time.....
now you dont need him
to make anything anymore...

cheaper, more profitable,
to ship from overseas....
so he's standing in line....

a line going nowhere!
