Some of the verses to "It used to be Made in America" go like this. It starts off with these lines...
"It used to be made in America
It used to be made in my town
It used to be made just down the street
Now they've shut that factory down.
A verse about unions goes like this:
It once had a union label
It said AFL-CIO
Now it's made someplace, who knows where?
And we watched all those good jobs go.
A verse about profits goes like this:
The deals overseas are way too tempting
The savings are way too dear
But the real cost we pay is far greater
It's a cost we pay for in fear.
"The poem 'It used to be Made in America' paints a vivid picture of conflicting economic forces, says Barrows, and it's a poem that every businessperson should read, every purchasing manager, every politician and every American should read...and it's a poem that a lot of politicians and a lot of labor leaders and a lot of journalists might want to turn to when they talk about these kinds of topics," says Barrows.
