    Story Behind the Song
    Every day thousands of American's are laid off in favor of bottom dollar labor in 3rd world countries. There is a massive transfer of wealth from the middle class to the very rich. The modern day "Robber Barons" are moving the wealth of America out of America. They want it all and don't want to pay any taxes, so they move off shore. I personally know people who have been out of work for almost a year and have no prospects of finding new work. Apparently no one it the White House or the Congress cares. In fact, they seem to be helping to make it happen.

    Lyrics
    The all mighty Kings of Wall Street
    Have declared financial war
    They`ve got profits in the billions
    But they keep demanding more
    The rich are getting richer
    While the middle class gets poor
    The Robber Barons call the shots
    They`re deserting us in scores
    They don`t want to pay their taxes
    They want cheap labor from off shore

    The writings on the wall
    It`s already underway
    They`ve got no use for you no more
    Your replacement`s on the way
    And they pay them next to nothing
    And they work them night and day
    They can do the job as well as you
    No one`s job is safe
    There`s no room for you
    If the Robber Barons get their way

    We live in Fly Over Country
    No one is looking out for you
    We live in Fly Over Country
    They just keep tightening the screws

    Well the gross domestic product
    Ain`t domestic any more
    They make it over seas
    And then they sell it on our shores
    There`s no one who`s immune
    from all this hedonistic greed
    The Barons down on Wall Street
    will squeeze you till you bleed
    They don`t care about you
    The dollar sign is all they see

    We live in Fly Over Country
    No one is looking out for you
    We live in Fly Over Country
    They just keep tightening the screws
    We live in Fly Over Country
    No one is looking out for you
    We live in Fly Over Country
    They just keep tightening the screws
