가사
[Verse 1]
Hey, now
Oh, now, now
[Verse 2]
The iron gates clang in a steel mill town
A man breaks down to that unemployment sound
He takes a last walk down that old coast road
In the dyin' death throws of all that he knows
The sight of those men walkin' through the gates
Was like a lame pit pony at the end of its days
Fire, fire, fire
[Verse 3]
In a Deeside down, eight thousand went down
In a February day in the drivin' rain
No winners, just losers and cuts and bruises
As the picket line fell, the industry died
There's still one question after all this time
Is a workin' man born to live and then die?
Fire, fire, fire
[Verse 4]
To build the ships, to set the sails
To cross the sea of fools
To be dealt the cards, to play our hand
To win or else to lose
In this cruel world that kicks a man when he's down
Down to the ground
[Verse 5]
Hey, now
Oh, now, now
[Verse 6]
And Lady Luck smiles on the few in this world
I hope and I pray that she smiles on you
I ain't gonna preach, no, I ain't gonna teach
I'm just gonna sing about the things that I need
A little bit of love, a little bit of hope
A little bit of strength, some fuel for the fire
Fire, fire, fire
[Verse 7]
To build the ships, to set the sails
To cross the sea of fools
To be dealt the cards, to play our hand
To win or else to lose
In this cruel world that kicks a man when he's down
[Verse 8]
Down to the ground
[Verse 9]
Oh, a little bit of love, a little bit of hope
A little bit of strength, some fuel for the fire
Fire, fire, fire
[Verse 10]
To build the ships, to set the sails
To cross the sea of fools
To be dealt the cards, to play our hand
To win or else to lose
In this cruel world that kicks a man when he's down
And all around the world, the lights are goin' down
