In These Times

"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"
