GranDilusionist - Left Behind Lyrics

We built this country with our blood and sweat
But now it feels like they forget
We're standing strong, but they turn away
Chasing their gold while we fade to gray
They're selling us out with every deal
Making promises they'll never feel
We're working harder just to get by
But no one's looking when we cry
We're the ones left behind, out in the cold
While they chase the power, the money, the gold
We're the heart of this land, but they close their eyes
To the ones who struggle, to the ones who try
Yeah, we're the ones left behind, we won't back down
We'll keep on fighting for our homes, for our towns
The factory's gone, and the field's gone dry
Main Street's empty, just a hollow sky
They told us change would set us free
But all I see is misery
They take the jets, we take the streets
Flying past us while we feel defeat
Heading east where the deals are made
Leaving us lost in the mess they've laid
We're the ones left behind, out in the cold
While they chase the power, the money, the gold
We're the heart of this land, but they close their eyes
To the ones who struggle, to the ones who try
Yeah, we're the ones left behind, we won't back down
We'll keep on fighting for our homes, for our towns
They've forgotten where they came from, forgotten who we are
But we're the ones who built it, every town and every scar
We're the backbone of the country, the ones who stand tall
And even when they leave us, we'll still never fall
We're the ones left behind, out in the cold
While they chase the power, the money, the gold
We're the heart of this land, but they close their eyes
To the ones who struggle, to the ones who try
Yeah, we're the ones left behind, we won't back down
We'll keep on fighting for our homes, for our towns
We're the ones left behind, but we won't break
We'll stand our ground for this land's sake
Yeah, we're the ones left behind, but still we rise
For the flag we love, and the truth we prize
