Ani Difranco - Trickle Down Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • You cease to smell the steel plant
  • After youve lived there for a while
  • Smoke is snow is ash are leaves that blow
  • Through the air aloft
  • All our houses dim their sliding
  • To the same soot gray style
  • And we hang our laundry out on sundays
  • When they turn the furnaces off
  • Everybodys daddy works up on the line
  • The stienbrenners and the wilczewskis
  • Have been there the longest time
  • Everybodys mommy squints into the sun
  • Sunday afternoon after all the laundrys done
  • Sometimes a distant siren
  • Can set a dog to barking late at night
  • Then it dominos on down
  • Til every dog is joining in
  • The first rumours of the layoffs
  • Sang like a distant siren might
  • And we all perked up our ears
  • And paced the fence
  • Of the ensuing din
  • Every night, we were glued to the tv news
  • At six oclock
  • Cuz it was hard to tell what was real
  • And what was talk
  • They explained about the cutbacks
  • All the earnest frowns
  • But what they didnt say was that the plant
  • Was slowly shutting down
  • This town is not the kind of place
  • That money people go
  • They make their jokes up on the tv
  • About all the snow
  • And theyre building condos downriver
  • From where the plant had been
  • But nobody really lives here
  • Now that the air is clean
  • The president assured us
  • It was all gonna trickle down
  • Like itd be raining so much money
  • That wed be sad to see the sun
  • Mr. wilczewskis brother had some business
  • Out in denver
  • So they left denver
  • And everybody knows they were the lucky ones
  • You cease to smell the steel plant
  • After youv ebeen here for a while
