Bob Dylan - Union Sundown fron his 193 album "Infidels". I can't make real videos, only the song and a photo. Sorry.Lyrics:UNION SUNDOWNPerformed by B.Dylan / C.KingWell, my shoes, they come from Singapore,My flashlight's from Taiwan,My tablecloth's from Malaysia,My belt buckle's from the Amazon.You know, this shirt I wear comes from the PhilippinesAnd the car I drive is a Chevrolet,It was put together down in ArgentinaBy a guy makin' thirty cents a day.Well, it's sundown on the unionAnd what's made in the U.S.A.Sure was a good idea'Til greed got in the way.Well, this silk dress is from Hong KongAnd the pearls are from Japan.Well, the dog collar's from IndiaAnd the flower pot's from Pakistan.All the furniture, it says "Made in Brazil"Where a woman, she slaved for sureBringin' home thirty cents a day to a family of twelve,You know, that's a lot of money to her.Well, it's sundown on the unionAnd what's made in the U.S.A.Sure was a good idea'Til greed got in the way.Well, you know, lots of people complainin' that there is no work.I say, "Why you say that forWhen nothin' you got is U.S.-made?"They don't make nothin' here no more,You know, capitalism is above the law.It say, "It don't count 'less it sells."When it costs too much to build it at homeYou just build it cheaper someplace else.Well, it's sundown on the unionAnd what's made in the U.S.A.Sure was a good idea'Til greed got in the way.Well, the job that you used to have,They gave it to somebody down in El Salvador.The unions are big business, friend,And they're goin' out like a dinosaur.They used to grow food in KansasNow they want to grow it on the moon and eat it raw.I can see the day coming when even your home gardenIs gonna be against the law.Well, it's sundown on the unionAnd 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 violenceBut I guess that's better left unsaid.From Broadway to the Milky Way,That's a lot of territory indeedAnd a man's gonna do what he has to doWhen he's got a hungry mouth to feed.Well, it's sundown on the unionAnd what's made in the U.S.A.Sure was a good idea'Til greed got in the way.
