Rust City Blues

[Verse] Factories shut they're all gone Rust city's left alone it's wrong Jobs left town one by one Now the streets feel so undone [Verse 2] Empty homes shadows creep No more dreams just to keep Ghost town life we just weep Memories here cut so deep [Chorus] Global turns and we fall down Buffalo streets haunted town Rise up now take a stand Fight for what's ours in this land [Verse 3] Smoke stacks fall down no trace Vacant lots an empty place Pride's all torn a broken face Time they stole left no grace [Bridge] Echoes of a booming past Fed dreams that could not last Global shifts left us fast Hearts of steel turned to dust [Verse 4] Boarded windows lost its shine Every corner crossed a line Community left behind Now we rise now's our time
