5. I wonder what it looks like if
We divide USA in half and let GOP people live on one side and us on the other side then watch what it looks like over there.

No clean water (it was liberals who fought for clean water, I think)
No trees since they don't care for nature/tree huggers (trees provide oxygen)
Ground overflowing with oil (drill baby drill)
No garbage pick up, no fire dept., no police dept (they will have to do themselves since they think those are Socialism)
No roads (since they don't want government involvment so they will have to pay for roads/highways themselves)
No majestic animals (since most of them have no respect for them)

6. this here is a company town son. best move along.
Some people say a man is made outta mud
A poor man's made outta muscle and blood
Muscle and blood and skin and bones
A mind that's a-weak and a back that's strong

You load sixteen tons, what do you get
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store

I was born one mornin' when the sun didn't shine
I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine
I loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal
And the straw boss said "Well, a-bless my soul"

You load sixteen tons, what do you get
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store



You load sixteen tons, what do you get
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store
