Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Come on, Ford, come on, GM
Come on, Chrysler, let's roll again
Build somethin' useful people need
Build us a safe way for us to be
Build us somethin' won't kill our kids
Runs real clean, yeah, it runs real clean
On down the highway, from place to place
Come on, America, let's get in the race
[Verse 2]
Yeah, China's way ahead, they're buildin' clean cars
Some days are like that, it doesn't matter
Some days are like that, so taste your freedom
Come on, Ford, come on, GM
Build us some small vans for city streets
That spend a clean day delivering
Don't want no loud sounds comin' from the back
Spewin' macho poison, it's not a race track
[Verse 3]
This ain't no new news, it ain't no big deal
It's time to build now, what's good for real
Come on, America, let's cover our back
Protect our children, protect our children
Over in China, they're way ahead
That's hard to swallow, they're way ahead
[Verse 4]
If you're a fascist, then get a Tesla
If it's electric, it doesn't matter
If you're a Democrat, then taste your freedom
Get whatever you want and taste your freedom
Yeah, China's way ahead, they're buildin' clean
Some days are like that, it doesn't matter
[Outro]
Come on, Ford, come on GM
Come on, America, let's roll again
Build somethin' useful that people need
Build us a safe way for us to be
