John Brazile - My Life's Work

Lyrics

My Life's Work - John Brazile

Jobs are what I voted for
Instead they gave away the store
and my life's work isn't mine anymore
It's midnight now in my town
the marquis lights are shutting down
when I'm out my baby's mother sleeps alone

What time is it in your town
Half the way the world around
Here the people cope in just the best way they know how
What time is it in your town
'Cause the one I'm in is shutting down
and my life's work is someone else's now

Bumming change but you resist
and speculate with tight-closed fists
just where you think I'm really gonna spend it
it's for my family they've been hit
with hunger in your own city limits
but go and spend that dollar like you need it

What time is it in your town
Half the way the world around
Here the people cope in just the best way they know how
What time is it in your town
'Cause the one I'm in is shutting down
and my life's work is someone else's now

Clothes are fading like filthy rags
yes it's really getting that bad
say hello to a brand new college grad
who'd have better luck in another land
since in America businessmen
outsource the jobs we need to save a fraction

What time is it in your town
Half the way the world around
Here the people die in just the best way they know how
What time is it in your town
'Cause the one I'm in is shutting down
and my life's work is someone else's now
