Lyrics

"I'd never wanna be known as anybody opposed to progress" He says, "But this is no longer a matter of progress, or not progress My brothers, my friends, my cousins have died tryna build this tunnel And, it just kinda seems to me that nobody has the right to take away Our responsibility to finish what these people have died for Our dignity is involved in it, our integrity And everything that we believe as working men are involved So that I ain't really opposed to the machine I just feel that the machine can't take the place of the soul and the sweat Of the many men who died to help build this tunnel And, uh, we gotta finish it, and it just ain't no two ways about it" "I'd never wanna be known as anybody opposed to progress" "The soul and the sweat of the many men who died to help build this tunnel" "Our responsibility to finish what these people have died for Our dignity is involved in it, our integrity" "We gotta finish it, and it just ain't no two ways about it"
