lyrics

It’s a cheerful kind of gray in the company town
If you choose to stay i’ll be happy to show you around

Life can change in the blink of an eye
If you stay close to me you’ll get along alright
Idle hands are a devil in disguise
So what do you say? will you come cross the line

Oh lord! we’re shutdown, you see we’re dying
The union wants beter indeed my boy
We need a man for the company

Look out marvin, it’s the mailman coming to deliver
If he’s bringing good news, well it’s better late than never

Right on time and without delay
The business needs a little welfare from the state
The workers in town are bleeding us dry
The picket demands bring a tear to my eye

Guys like you and me have been made a target
I’d pour us a drink but you’ve got work in the morning

Pity the soul who knows not the health
In a good days work- it’s the greatest kind of wealth
The greed of the poor always gives me pause
They spit in your face, but what is the cause?
