|
The siren screams to start the day |
|
You get up early to earn your pay |
|
Push the button throw that switch |
|
Turbines roar their unholy pitch |
|
I listen I can hear |
|
Pounding like thunder |
|
Pistons push the steel on steel |
|
Steam filled air turns the wheel |
|
The wheel in turn takes the strain |
|
Pounds the beat again and again |
|
Chorus: |
|
Metal on metal |
|
The feeling of steel |
|
Someone is driving |
|
But you've got the wheel |
|
The workers sing the same old song |
|
Machines in motion they're never wrong |
|
You think in time you will be free |
|
But a factory man is what you'll be |
|
I listen I can hear |
|
Pounding like thunder |
|
Pistons push the steel on steel |
|
Steam filled air turns the wheel |
|
The wheel in turn takes the strain |
|
Pounds the beat again and again |
|
Chorus |
|
Angry young men look to the west |
|
Speak for yourself you'll pass the test |
|
Fortune beholds the brave so they say |
|
Questions unanswered the risk they might pay |
|
I listen I can hear |
|
Pounding like thunder |
|
Chorus |
|
Fade |
