Wellmy shoesthey come from Singapore
My flashlight s from Taiwan
My tablecloth s from Malaysia
My belt buckle s from the Amazon.
You knowthis 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 makin thirty cents a day.
Wellit s sundown on the union
And what s made in the U.S.A.
Sure was a good idea
Til greed got in the way.
Wellthis silk dress is from Hong Kong
And the pearls are from Japan.
Wellthe dog collar s from India
And the flower pot s from Pakistan.
All the furnitureit says "Made in Brazil"
Where a womanshe slaved for sure
Bringin home thirty cents a day to a family of twelve
You knowthat s a lot of money to her.
Wellit s sundown on the union
And what s made in the U.S.A.
Sure was a good idea
Til greed got in the way.
Wellyou knowlots of people complainin that there is no work.
I say"Why you say that for
When nothin you got is U.S.-made?"
They don t make nothin here no more
You knowcapitalism is above the law.
It 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.
Wellit s sundown on the union
And what s made in the U.S.A.
Sure was a good idea
Til greed got in the way.
Wellthe job that you used to have
They gave it to somebody down in El Salvador.
The unions are big businessfriend
And they re goin out like a dinosaur.
They used to grow food in Kansas
Now they want to 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.
Wellit s sundown on the union
And what s made in the U.S.A.
Sure was a good idea
Til greed got in the way.
Democracy don t rule the world
You d 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.
Wellit s sundown on the union
And what s made in the U.S.A.
Sure was a good idea
Til greed got in the way
