Lyrics for Automation Song by Phil Ochs:
| | | Artist: | Phil Ochs |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | Automation Song | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 59 | | | | Lyrics: | G B7 Em Am7 D7 G
Oh I laid down your railroads, every mile of
track.
B7 Em Am7 D7 G
With the muscles on my arm and
the sweat upon my back.
G7 C G C G
And now the
trains are rolling, they roll to every shore
C G A7
D
You tell me that my job is through, there ain't no work no more.
G B7
Em Am7 D7 G
Though I laid down your highways all across the land.
B7 Em Am7 D7 G
With the ringing of the steel and the power of my
hands.
G7 C G C G
And now the roads are there like
ribbons in the sky,
C G A7 D
You tell me that
my job is through but still I wonder why.
Em Bm
For the
wages were low and the hours were long
Em D7
And the labour was
all I could bear.
Em Bm
Now you've got new machines for to
take my place
Am7 D7
And you tell me it's not mine to
share.
G B7 Em Am7 D7 G
Though I laid down your
factories and laid down your fields,
B7 Em Am7 D7 G
With
my feet on the ground and my back to your wheels.
G7 C G C
G
And now the smoke is rising, the steel is all a-glow,
C G
D7 G
I'm walking down a jobless road and where am I to
go.
(repeat)
Em Am D7 G
Tell me, where am I to go. | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
