The New World (Demo)

Honest to goodness

The bars weren't open this morning

They must have been voting for a new president of something

Do you have a quarter?

I said, "Yes", because I did

Honest to goodness, the tears have been falling

All over this country's face

[Chorus 1]

It was better before, before they voted for What's-His-Name

This was supposed to be the new world

It was better before, before they voted for What's-His-Name

This was supposed to be the new world

Flint Ford Auto

Mobile, Alabama

Windshield Wiper

Buffalo, New York

Gary, Indiana

Don't forget the Motor City

Baltimore and D.C

Now all we need is

[Chorus 2]

Don't forget the Motor City

This was supposed to be the new world

Don't forget the Motor City

This was supposed to be the new world

All we need is money

Just give us what you can spare

Twenty or thirty pounds of potatoes

Or twenty or thirty beers

A turkey on Thanksgiving

Like alms for the poor

All we need are the necessities and more

[Chorus 1]

It was better before, before they voted for What's-His-Name

This was supposed to be the new world

It was better before, before they voted for What's-His-Name

This was supposed to be the new world

[Chorus 2]

Don't forget the Motor City

This was supposed to be the new world

Don't forget the Motor City

This was supposed to be the new world
