Skin and Bone

Skin and Bone

When they sold the factory my union went berserk
But I still lost my job and it's been years since I found steady work

I'm down to skin 'n bone, down to skin 'n bone
I'm down to skin 'n bone, down to skin 'n bone

They cancelled my insurance and I can't afford the rates
If my wife or son gets sick how am I supposed to pay

I'm down to skin 'n bone, down to skin 'n bone
I'm down to skin 'n bone, down to skin 'n bone

No need to read the headlines on a newspaper's front page
I know that they have got to pay me a decent minimum wage

I'm down to skin 'n bone, down to skin 'n bone
I'm down to skin 'n bone, down to skin 'n bone

I know it's said this is the land of opportunity
But is there any room left for a working stiff like me

Oil in North Dakota and in the Gulf of Mexico
I can't move my family but if there's work that's where I'm gonna go

I'm down to skin 'n bone, down to skin 'n bone
I'm down to skin 'n bone, down to skin 'n bone
