lyrics

BLUE COLLAR


THE PARENTS COULDN’T SEND THE KIDS TO COLLEGE
THE STRIKE THEN THE LAYOFFS KILLED THAT PLAN
IT’S NOT AS IF THERE WERE SOME KIND OF JUSTICE
FOR THE BLUE COLLAR LIFE ISN’T MUCH FUN

BORN UNDER THE GREYING SKY
OF THESE DOOMED NORTHERN TOWNS
RAISED FOR THE ASSEMBLY LINE
IT’S THAT JOB OR IT’S THE BATTLEGROUND

SOME HOPE FOR LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL
SOME PREFER TO BRING THE SYSTEM DOWN
SOME FORGET THE RULES ARE MADE FOR THE RICH
FOR SOME JAIL IS THE ONE-WAY ROUND

THE WORK IS GOING OVERSEAS
THE MAN STEALS THE PAY
THE PIG IS BLOATING FROM THE GREED
WHILE AWFUL LIES ARE FED FROM DAY TO DAY

NO-WAY OUT OF THE INDUSTRIAL NIGHTMARE
ONE HATES THE JOB BUT ONE CAN’T LIVE WITHOUT
A LEGACY OF HOPES GOING TO THIN AIR
THAT COOKIE HAS CRUMBLED OVER TIME

BORN UNDER THE GREYING SKIES….
