ERASURE
- The Circus LyricsCall 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 vpset the teacher though we know he lied to you
Don't upset the preacher
he's 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
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.
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
Putting back the pieces of a broken dream.
There was once a future for a working man
. . .
Putting back the pieces of a broken dream
a broken
a broken dream.
And they show no concern.
Work for their prosperity while the big wheels turn
Now it's too late to learn.
Don't vpset the teacher though we know he lied to you
Don't upset the preacher
he's 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
Putting back the pieces of a broken dream.
Father worked in industry
Now the work has moved on and the factories gone.
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.
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
Putting back the pieces of a broken dream.
There was once a future for a working man
. . .
Putting back the pieces of a broken dream
a broken
a broken dream.
