What Am I Supposed to Do

I hired on back in '85 February 28. They stuck me on that midnight shift It became the job that I loved to hate Met a girl and we said our vows Tried for a kid, ended up with two Now it seems that they're shuttin' this town down What am I supposed to do? What am I supposed to do, Lord? What am I supposed to do? When this is all I have ever known What am I supposed to do? I reside on the northeast side Where the family settled back in '33 I sold the car just to save the house It's gettin' hard to hold on to anything Well them union boys, they made some noise In the end, they had to feed their families too Them dues I paid, they can't help me now So what am I supposed to do? What am I supposed to do, Lord? What am I supposed to do? When this is all I have ever known What am I supposed to do? I sit by as the city slowly dies And I wonder about my fate All the sympathy on the evening news I've had about all I can take I'm forty-five and I've got no place to hide I've got nothing left to lose Is this what I get after all that I gave? What am I supposed to do? What am I supposed to do, Lord? What am I supposed to do? When this is all I have ever known What am I supposed to do? What am I supposed to do, Lord? What am I supposed to do? When this is all I have ever known What am I supposed to do?
