New Era Windows

Am E Am E Am
It’s more bear than I can bear, the bull market is dozin’
Am E Am E Am
Word down at the banks, is always be foreclosin’
Dm e
Wall Street got the bail out, we got our two weeks
Am E Am E Am E Am
And if you owed a loan to try to own a home, you got thrown out on the street
Dm E
Now there’s camps like they had in Tahrir Square, and we’re talking with UE
Am E Am E Am E Am
If we go Occupy, what we’re too broke to buy, we’ll start with the factory
Dm E
When they kick us that’s just business, when we fight back it’s a war
Am E Am E Am
You gotta make yourselves a window, when the man slams shut the door

We baked them up their cake, they left us with the crumbs
Rust Belt’s waiting for tomorrow like a train that never comes
First they burst the bubble, then they pack their cash and leave
Cut the pay and do a longer day when they re-open overseas
They throw away our jobs like pawns then tell us we’re to blame
So we knocked over the board and cut the king out of the game
When they kick us that’s just business, when we fight back it’s a war
You gotta make yourselves a window, when the man slams shut the door

Bridge:
E Dm Am
It’s better than starting over, it’s faster that litigation
E Dm Am
Taking it back ain’t trespassing, it’s called expropriation
Dm E
They did it in Argentina, they did it down in Greece
Am E
You’ll never get a space in life if you wait to get a lease

When the bust hit in ‘08, with more debt than they could pay
then JP Morgan Chase and the goddamn B-o-A
Put the factory up for scrap, until we scrapped their plans
Occupy until somebody buys, that’s how we forced their hand
But when the new boss tried to shut it down, we figured what the hell-
If a boss is bound to run it into the ground, we’ll have to run it for ourselves
When they kick us that’s just business, when we fight back it’s a war
You gotta make yourselves a window, when the man slams shut the door
