Smokestack People
Another empty morning, in a string of wasted days
You've given up on hope, and lost the urge to pray
The world you knew has vanished, and now you've lost your way
You're pulling back inside, nothing left to say
Times have changed
You're on your own
Light's turned out
On the world you've known
Welcome to the world of
Smokestack People
Too old to work
Too young to die
Smokestack People
Watching the future
Pass them by
Smokestack People
Too old to work
Too young to die
They're Smokestack People
The yellow bricks led, to the factory gate
A lifetime of work, resigned to your fate
Working for weekends, life wouldn't wait
As the truth hits home, it's too soon too late
Times have changed
You're on your own
Light's turned out
On the world you've known
Welcome to the world of
Smokestack People
Too old to work
Too young to die
Smokestack People
Watching the future
Pass them by
Smokestack People
Too old to work
Too young to die
They're Smokestack People
Downsized globalized
Traumatized demoralized
Trouble enough just staying alive
How do you mend a broken life?
Smokestack People
Too much pride to sit aside
While the world leaves them behind
Smokestack People
Calling it quits just ain't their style
Hide their pain behind a smile
Smokestack People
The world's not ending, no need for despair
Start the next chapter, take to the air
Smokestack People
Learning to fly up in the sky
Smokestack People
Learning to fly up in the sky
Smokestack People
Learning to fly up in the sky
They're Smokestack People
You've given up on hope, and lost the urge to pray
The world you knew has vanished, and now you've lost your way
You're pulling back inside, nothing left to say
Times have changed
You're on your own
Light's turned out
On the world you've known
Welcome to the world of
Smokestack People
Too old to work
Too young to die
Smokestack People
Watching the future
Pass them by
Smokestack People
Too old to work
Too young to die
They're Smokestack People
The yellow bricks led, to the factory gate
A lifetime of work, resigned to your fate
Working for weekends, life wouldn't wait
As the truth hits home, it's too soon too late
Times have changed
You're on your own
Light's turned out
On the world you've known
Welcome to the world of
Smokestack People
Too old to work
Too young to die
Smokestack People
Watching the future
Pass them by
Smokestack People
Too old to work
Too young to die
They're Smokestack People
Downsized globalized
Traumatized demoralized
Trouble enough just staying alive
How do you mend a broken life?
Smokestack People
Too much pride to sit aside
While the world leaves them behind
Smokestack People
Calling it quits just ain't their style
Hide their pain behind a smile
Smokestack People
The world's not ending, no need for despair
Start the next chapter, take to the air
Smokestack People
Learning to fly up in the sky
Smokestack People
Learning to fly up in the sky
Smokestack People
Learning to fly up in the sky
They're Smokestack People
