Good Times (Are Over)

Born west of the river while the city still worked

now I’m begging for a job wearing a dead man’s shirt

and the bulbs burnt out in the downtown lights

slumlords buying up the whole south side.

The good times are over

the good times are over

the days they bought and sold you

their good times are over.

I see fancy cars parked on empty streets

boarded up factories on balance sheets

they’re up in their towers while the country drowns

but the higher you are

the further you’ll fall down.

The good times are over

the good times are over

the days they bought and sold you

their good times are over.

The good times are over

the good times are over

the days they bought and sold you

their good times are over.

The good times are over

the good times are over

the days they bought and sold you

their good times are over.
