somewhere on a farm in america

arnie took over the farm when his father died
he said it was in late september two thousand five
harvest time what’s an eldest son to do
mom’s getting older and there’s siblings to care for too

struggling on for the next year that would pass
the gas man came to town waving around some free cash
things were looking up, just more hard times on the way
it would only be a short time before the family felt betrayed
and you could hear a chorus of voices say

we were lied to by another suit and tie
lied to as they look us in the eye
lied to and then hung out to dry
they don’t care about you or me
these puppeteers and captains of industry

can’t eat the fish from the river
can’t drink the water from the well, it needs to be delivered
there is something in the ground making the sick sicker
and something in the air making the bullsh*t thicker

we were lied to by another suit and tie
lied to as they look us in the eye
lied to and then hung out to dry
they don’t care about you or me
these puppeteers and captains of industry
all the lights and noise keep them up all night
small bribery for silence so they don’t put up a fight
lost all reason there’s too much income
but not enough so they are right back where they started from

and try to leave this place but there’s no turning back
you can’t sell your land after the fact
when the water is on fire and the cows losing her hair
and the human on the other end of the line don’t seem to care

arnie says that free money that they are throwing around isn’t free
because it dries up sooner than eventually
and in the end it all fails to add up
and once again they are left with not enough

we were lied to by another suit and tie
lied to as they look us in the eye
lied to and then hung out to dry
they don’t care about you or me
these puppeteers and captains of industry
see they don’t care about you or me
these puppeteers and captains of industry

in my home state west of 81 they are going to have to re*organize
as the commonwealth of kingdom come
