    Lyrics
    come sit next to me

    i came here in 78 cause the buzz was there's work to do
    and none of us really knwo why that boss just up and moved
    i'm here cause the automobile revolution had just begun
    now i'm a police deputy transplant here in flint, michigan

    (chorus)
    now you do your desk work
    and i'll punch my card here
    we'll take vacation pay
    and build our homes here
    we'll help the average american get to work on time
    in flint, michigan

    i can remember the last GM down the assembly line
    but i can't recall all the time i spent in unemployment lines

    roger and me moved on down to detroit where the business is
    fuck all those housewives whos husbands are back making minimum
