Well once upon a time, this town had a name Built the girders for the buildings that you climb everyday But the well went dry and the crops all died Now there ain't much to show you but a highway sign But I swear to that statue in the square That there used to be something there But now there ain't no jobs in steeltown Not anymore No jobs in steeltown No not anymore
Well, businessman in business suit He used lots of big words like "economic" and "boom" There's tons of waste that needs a place Well, we've got the money if you've got the space And besides, you need to be revitalized And your workers need Nine-To-Fives And hey, it's good for jobs in steeltown Not like before More jobs in steeltown No, not like before
Well it once was steel, now it's iron bars They need food-spooners, janitors, and prison guards And they look out and I look in Sometimes I forget who the prisoner is But it's fine cause their numbers are on the rise Bad bad guy's got another side And hey, it's good for jobs in steeltown For the working and poor For jobs in steeltown For the working and poor
From Wall Street to Main Street To the yet-to-be-named street Child, connect the dots and see We all live on the same street
Well, the day's gonna come when the well goes dry The executives will pack up and say goodbye And they'll smile and wave And we'll say, "Wait! You forgot your pile of toxic waste!" Hey, we got families to raise This is where I gotta plant my grave But no, there ain't no jobs No there ain't no jobs in steeltown Not anymore Not like before For the working and poor No jobs in steeltown No not anymoreTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
