There's an ill wind blowing like a full force gale It's a long dark night on a long dark trail Some joker stumbles and everybody falls Times like these make a man feel small... Ain't nothin' but the rust belt blues Ain't nothin' but yesterday's news Down in shadowland... Down in shadowland... There's a man on the corner yelling Jesus saves Well I hope he saved a lot gonna need it these days Use to be that you reap what you sow Now it's not what but who you know... Ain't nothin' but the rust belt blues Ain't nothin' but yesterday's news Down in shadowland... In shadowland... Down in shadowland... In shadowland... Well the last man standing gets to walk on the graves And the sky is the color of blood as it fades... Ain't nothin' but a punch-drunk time Ain't nothin' but the scene of the crime... Ain't nothin' but the rust belt blues Ain't nothin' but yesterday's news Down in shadowland... Down in shadowland... Ain't nothin' but the rust belt blues Ain't nothin' but yesterday's news Down in shadowland... Down in shadowland... Down in shadowland... In shadowland...
