The a**embly plant moved to Mexico, the domestic sales started getting slow but the bills kept pooring in, me and beck took it on the chin
And the day the landlord threw us out, Becky she threw in the towel
She had enough at last
of these modern grapes of wrath
Chorus
Saddam Huessien still has a job but I don't
Tonight he'll sleep in a big warm bed but I won't
You'll see me standing in front of a bus stop both
with a sign that reads will work for food
and later I'll take my place around the trash barrel fire
Wheres the pot of gold for a street man named desire
It seems like a million years ago, I faced each day full of hope
honest labor with my hands, making a livin, making plans
Well I never was much at drinking before but these days its all that keeps me warm
Its still hard to belive This could ever happen to me
Chorus

2nd Chorus
The President still has a job but I don't
Tonight he'll sleep in a big warm bed but I won't
You'll see me standing in front of a bus stop both
with a sign that reads will work for food
and later I'll take my place around the trash barrel fire
wheres the pot of gold for a street man named desire
wheres the pot of gold for a street man named desire
And the day the landlord threw us out, Becky she threw in the towel
She had enough at last
of these modern grapes of wrath
