Flint Buick City Lyrics

Flint was Buick City where dads work to GM

Livin' the dream with crowds waitin' to get in

An honest day's work for an honest day's pay

Take care of your family, live the American way

But NAFTA came through, slashed without remorse

Leveled most factories all the way to the floor

People believed in that old UAW

But where was that hero

For those who paid fuckin' dues

You didn't look up, you didn't fuckin' care

You're still livin' the dream

We're left with the nightmare

The bank took the house, my mom took the kids

Dad started slingin' rocks, wishin' this life wasn't his

Don't pretend to worry, you'll all be okay

G's up, hoes down

You motherfuckers started the gangster parade

Democrats stood by, flippin' the bird

Blue-collar America's dead, haven't you heard

The money is in medicine, tech, and pornography

If you wanna get rich, better get on your knees

Better get on your knees

Flint was Buick City, thriving in its prime

Now it's a ghost town, haunted by lost time

Fathers lost their pride, as plants closed their doors

Leaving families shattered on what's left of these broken floors

Dad used to boast about the car he helped create

Now he's slumped in a corner tryin' to escape

Fathers lost their pride

As plants closed their doors

Leaving families shattered on what's left of these broken floors

Dad used to boast about the car he helped create

Now he's slumped in a corner tryin' to escape

G's up, hoes down

You motherfuckers started the gangster parade

Democrats stood by, flippin' the bird

Blue-collar America's dead, haven't you heard

The money is in medicine, tech, and pornography

If you wanna get rich, better get on your knees

Better get on your knees

Flint was Buick City, where dad's worked at GM

Livin' the dream, with crowds wait to get in

An honest day's work, for an honest day's pay

Take care of your family, live the American way

Live the American way
