read w/chords
They're putting down the hard-working scientists.
In Livermore and Los Alamos,
saying what they create will then our way be aimed.
But turn away from those who get the glory.
Go down to the ghetto, visit the barrio
meet the folks who pay
They're puttin down the workers and the owners
at Rocky Flats, GE, Boeing,
saying what they make will bring an awful fate
But turn away from those who make the money.
Go out to the suburbs.
Talk to people about their kids' braces.
Meet the folks who pay.
They're putting down the dedicated officers
and the star-powered soldiers
saying what they do no longer makes us safe
But turn away from those who do our dirty work,
visit some old folks in their apartments,
see how the fixed incomes are shrinking,
meet the folks who pay.
They're putting down the driven politicians
and bureaucrats in their stations
saying where they lead is lethal and insane.
But turn away from those who have the power.
Go out in the city. Ask how much people have left.
Meet the folks who pay.
They're putting down the ones who have voted for it,
who have argued and believed and lobbied for it,
Saying what they want will do us in someday.
But turn away from those who get their wishes
Go out into the country.
Talk to some farmers.
Meet the folks who pay.
