Tsunami
I've been here since the start
Yeah all my working life
It's where I started and it's
Where I met my wife
Been through the good and bad
And raised a family
And now my kids are here
They're working on the line with me
And then the fatal blow
We heard it on the radio
As we were driving in to
Start work on the second shift
They told us we would not be
Working here much longer
It cut right through us like a
Razor sharp katana
It's the end of an era
It's a wake up call as we
Walk into the future while we're
Waiting for the axe to fall
(Tsunami, tsunami, tsunami, tsunami)
It's the end of the shinkansen
The termination station
Everybody change here for an
Unknown destination
(Tsunami, tsunami, tsunami, tsunami)
Read all about it, it's a
Bad day at black rock
There's been an earthquake, now we're
Dealing with the aftershock
And we are powerless
The wave will keep on coming
Tsunami watching as we
Walk toward our ruin
The gears are cranking up
Machinery in motion
We're just spectators to the
Power of the ocean
And in the global scheme it's
Just a minor tremor
But in the here and now it
Feels like it's the end of the world
It's the end of an era
It's a seismic shift
Nothing we can do to stop the
Continental drift
(Tsunami, tsunami, tsunami, tsunami)
It's the end of the road, yeah
The writings on the wall
Need to find another way to
Keep the wolf from the door
(Tsunami, tsunami, tsunami, tsunami)
And so I'm standing in the line
And I am trying
To give a fig about the
Car that you'll be buying
To give my all when all I
Want to do is scream
To keep on working like a
Cog in this machine
Read 'em and weep
A losing deal, the closing movement
We hear the roaring of the
Wind the deadly portent
And we are powerless
The wave is coming for us
Tsunami warning as it
Towers high above us
At the end of the day we're into
Damage limitation
Running for the hills our only
Possible salvation
(Tsunami, tsunami, tsunami, tsunami)
It's the end of an era, it's our
Judgement day
Thirty years of progress being
Washed away
(Tsunami, tsunami, tsunami, tsunami)
Tsunami, tsunami, tsunami, tsunami
Tsunami, tsunami, tsunami, tsunami
Yeah all my working life
It's where I started and it's
Where I met my wife
Been through the good and bad
And raised a family
And now my kids are here
They're working on the line with me
And then the fatal blow
We heard it on the radio
