SOMETHING'S GONE WRONG

ain't afraid of a little hard work
mud on my boots and a sweat stained shirt
long as i'm paid... it's never been that tough
i'm good with my hands... i can drive truck
never been one to depend on luck
or charity... but it's never been this rough

thought i'd try the hardware store
turns out chuck isn't there no more
there's not enough work for the extra hand
checked the warehouse and UPS
they got all the men they need i guess
or they'll just make do with what they got if they can

  tell me what i missed.. who made that call.. who changed the game
  how'd it come to this.. who dropped the ball.. tell me who's to blame
  oh, when a good man can't find work feed his family
  and hope is gone
  something's gone wrong
  something's gone wrong

i cast my vote.. i help put them there
i was damn proud when i heard them swear
they're gonna make things right.. they're gonna change the rules
there's plenty of cash for a war or two
gotta help the banks what else could we do
but there's not enough left to send my kids to school

  tell me what i missed.. who made that call.. who changed the game
  how'd it come to this.. who dropped the ball.. tell me who's to blame
  oh, when a good man can't find work feed his family
  and hope is gone
  something's gone wrong
  something's gone wrong
