12,000 Criminals from The Alphabet by Eric Blowtorch and the Welders

Every culture have its villain, baby,
just like them have they hero
In the American heartland
hard to tell apart, man

When Chrysler start to whittling
12,000 jobs down to zero
they’re not trying to stoke war
They just want a place in folklore

They must want what’s best because they’re Chrysler?
You just can’t trust brands because they’re priced for
profit for shareholders,
not Devil’s Night homeowners

Not the first or even the worst
Got your purse and even your hearse
Chrysler don’t need advertising subliminal
Chrysler creating 12,000 criminals
Worst of a bastard bunch, hearse for your last big launch

Joe Lunchbucket’s looking really desperate
All hunched under and his kids can’t get next to him
Uunraveling from nervous tension
Babbling about a severance pension

Step to me, sucker, and sell your little skill set
We wept for thee, brother – the hell? Paid your big ol’ bills yet?
Bend over and reach for any shovel
Why d’you think they call this entry level?

Not the first or even the worst
Got your purse and even your hearse
Chrysler don’t need advertising subliminal
Chrysler creating 12,000 criminals
Worst of a bastard bunch, hearse for your last big launch
