On one side the government the o ther the m ob
(comin apart at e very nai l)
Hey hey a in't that r ight

The workin' man's in for a h ell of a f ight
(comin apart at e very nai l)
O h this c ountry s ure looks good to me
B ut these f ences are c omin' apart at ever y nail
Way up on the old dew line
(comin apart at every nail)
Some of the boys were feelin' fine

A big light flashed across the sky
(comin apart at every nail)
But somethin' else went slippin' by
(comin apart at every nail)
Meanwhile at the Pentagon
(comin apart at every nail)
The brass was a wonderin' what went wrong
(comin apart at every nail)
Oh this country sure looks good to me
But these fences are comin' apart at every nail
Hey hey ain't that right
The workin' man's in for a hell of a fight
Oh this country sure looks good to me
But these fences are comin' apart at every nail
