가사

The gold watch sits shiny and useless
In the drawer with his mother's old locket
His time, as ever, hangs from a chain
Securely tucked in his front pocket
He putters about, filling his days
With lists of forgotten old chores
Marking his hours with silence he never
Heard down on the factory floor
He remembers the day he showed up at the mill
A promise all shiny and new
Ready for anything, eager to mount
The work that they gave him to do
His father had struggled to build a small life
New to this language and land
Now he knew that his family was looking to him
To take up their fate in his hands
Eight hours a shift of the heat and the noise
You've earned this brief respite come after
Wash up and walk to that place down the corner
For the beer and the tales and the laughter
It's day after day, week after week
Year after year, it's the same
You do your small part, just a piece of the whole
For a man you know only by name
Now they meet in the morning for coffee
Relive the old days once again
Stooped by the years into the shadows
Of once were these eager young men
Who took up their tools, who took up the task
With work that was honest and real
Building a nation, a world, and a future
As strong and as bright as this steel
Like a relay, you hand off the tongs and the hammer
To the next one who's coming along
And the work, it gets done just the same as before
They scarcely will notice you're gone
They say that one day there will be a machine
That'll make every bit of this steel
And you wonder, "Where will all the young people go
To find work that is honest and real?"
