(written by Clarke/Bell)
----
Call it new technology
And they use it to
burn
And they show no concern
Work for their prosperity
While the big wheels
turn
Now it's too late to learn
Don't upset the teacher
Though we know he lied to
you
Don't upset the preacher
Gonna close his eyes for you
And it's a shame
That
you're so afraid
Just a worker waiting
In the pouring rain
Putting back the
pieces
Of a broken dream
Father worked in industry
Now the work has moved
on
And the factories gone
See them sell your history
Where once you were
strong
And you used to belong
There was once a future
For a working man
There
was once a lifetime
For a skillful hand
Yesterday
Don't upset the teacher
Though
we know he lied to you
Don't upset the preacher
Gonna close his eyes for you
And it's
a shame
That you're so afraid
Just a worker waiting
In the pouring rain
Putting
back the pieces
Of a broken dream
Tempers fray so easily
In desperate
despair
Is there anyone that cares
Just another tragedy
Just a personal
affair
In a room somewhere
There was once a future
For a working man
There was
once a lifetime
For a skillful hand
Yesterday
And it's a shame
That you're so
afraid
Just a worker waiting
In the pouring rain
Putting back the pieces
Of a
broken dream | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
