Comin' Apart At Every Nail

(album: Hawks And Doves - 1980)

It's awful hard to find a job
On one side the government,
the other the mob
Hey, hey ain't that right
The working man's in
for a hell of a fight.

Oh, this country
sure looks good to me
But these fences are
coming apart at every nail.

Way up on the old dew line
Some of the boys were feeling fine
A big light flashed across the sky
But something else went slipping by
Meanwhile at the Pentagon
The brass was a wondering
what went wrong.

Oh, this country
sure looks good to me
But these fences are
coming apart at every nail.

Hey hey, ain't that right
The working man's in
for a hell of a fight.

Oh, this country
sure looks good to me
But these fences are
coming apart at every nail.
