With honest sweat on his brow?

working man?

In better times, in old America,
We sang the 'Working Man's Blues' 
with such pride.
Many who worked 40 hours, week after
 week,
Have been let go, pushed off to the 
side.
And I'll tell you, nothing is 
sadder,
Than the soul of a hard working man.
With no means to help out his 
family,
And nothing to do with his hands.

What will become of the working man,
With honest sweat on his brow?
Is the nation that raised him to 
build it,
Gonna turn its back on him now?
Take away his pride, and dignity?
And give his job to some foreign 
land?
Here's a question that needs a 
straight answer:
What will become of the hard working
 man?
