Comin' Apart at Every Nail Lyrics
Neil Young
It's awful hard to find a job
On one side the government,
the other the mob
Hey, hey ain't that right
The workin' man's in
for a hell of a fight.
Oh, this country
sure looks good to me
But these fences are
comin' apart at every nail.
Way up on the old dew line
Some of the boys were feelin' fine
A big light flashed across the sky
But somethin' else went slippin' by
Meanwhile at the Pentagon
The brass was a wonderin'
what went wrong.
Oh, this country
sure looks good to me
But these fences are
comin' apart at every nail.
Hey hey, ain't that right
The workin' man's in
for a hell of a fight.
Oh, this country
sure looks good to me
But these fences are
comin' apart at every nail.
On one side the government,
the other the mob
Hey, hey ain't that right
The workin' man's in
for a hell of a fight.
Oh, this country
sure looks good to me
But these fences are
comin' apart at every nail.
Way up on the old dew line
Some of the boys were feelin' fine
A big light flashed across the sky
But somethin' else went slippin' by
Meanwhile at the Pentagon
The brass was a wonderin'
what went wrong.
Oh, this country
sure looks good to me
But these fences are
comin' apart at every nail.
Hey hey, ain't that right
The workin' man's in
for a hell of a fight.
Oh, this country
sure looks good to me
But these fences are
comin' apart at every nail.
