The Circus
Erasure Call it new technology And they show no concern And they use it to burn 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 Gonna close his eyes for you Don't upset the preacher And it's a shame Just a worker waiting That you're so afraid In the pouring rain Of a broken dream Putting back the pieces Now the work has moved on And the factories gone Father worked in industry Where once you were strong See them sell your history And you used to belong There was once a future For a working man For a skillful hand There was once a lifetime Yesterday Don't upset the teacher Though we know he lied to you Don't upset the preacher And it's a shame Gonna close his eyes for you Just a worker waiting That you're so afraid In the pouring rain Of a broken dream Putting back the pieces Tempers fray so easily In desperate despair Just another tragedy Is there anyone that cares Just a personal affair In a room somewhere There was once a future For a working man There was once a lifetime Yesterday For a skillful hand And it's a shame Just a worker waiting That you're so afraid In the pouring rain Of a broken dreamPutting back the pieces |
