lyrics

THE CATHEDRAL OF INDUSTRY

Six months five day I wait
Steeping in a sea of the unemployed
Desperate for the wage he gives
Lifted from the pit but at what cost?

Other drones cheer me on
Muttered under breath they curse my name
They hate the fortune I got in place of their innocence
Youth is favored by him

Pinkertons smash them to the ground
River rouge complex in total lockdown
For the opportunity he gives
The chance to be a machine in the ultimate inefficiency

Eating, breathing, shitting Model T’s

Now I pass them by almost every day
I can see the look on their face I’ve had so many times
Now I can start my life anew in the glow of the modern age
But they still sit and rot and wait with purgatory on their minds

No social interaction on the line
The slightest indiscretion throws off the timing
Subject to the fascism he wants
To be the lord of all that he’s created in the aftermath

Sacrifice that I made
Just to work and not to starve
Subject to the whims of fuhrer Ford
Mandatory journals of his fascist law
Disinvestment panic, zero confidence, full-scale default with no chance of recovery
Our master always knew just what his choice would be

No one saw it coming back then
They just saw the profits without end in sight
It’s a fragile world that we’re living in
Always in the shadow of depression it could come again

Free want to be free again
Now I feel these city walls start closing in
Desperate and despaired until the car came along
The answer is suburbia

The cathedral of industry
