Down In Bushville



The kids are singing rap songs in the middle of the night
By a hip hop campfire and an LED light
How can you have a lifestyle when
you're living in a tent?
A dirty little secret that you don't have a cent....

You walked out of your home and you never even looked back
Don't have to lock the door when you've fallen through the cracks
You tried so hard, so hard to live a dream,
But this American Nightmare just aint what it seems

C'mon down to Bushville
There's a spot for you down by the tracks
Just don't go out after curfew or
You won't be comin' back....

Down to Bushville
Another forgotten family
There ain't no more jobs and
we're livin here for free
Down in Bushville....

Spare a dollar or a dime?
It really doesn't matter
when you're runnin out of time....
Down in Bushville

Hey, there's a Bushville in a city near you...Seattle, Nashville, Detroit, Sacramento
Just don't look too hard, because you just might find yourself down in Bushville....
