The siren screams to start the daynYou get up early to earn your paynPush the button throw that switchnTurbines roar their unholy pitchnI listen I can hearnPounding like thundernPistons push the steel on steelnSteam filled air turns the wheelnThe wheel in turn takes the strainnPounds the beat again and againn[Chorus:]nMetal on metalnThe feeling of steelnSomeone is drivingnBut you've got the wheelnThe workers sing the same old songnMachines in motion they're never wrongnYou think in time you will be freenBut a factory man is what you'll benI listen I can hearnPounding like thundernPistons push the steel on steelnSteam filled air turns the wheelnThe wheel in turn takes the strainnPounds the beat again and againn[Chorus]nAngry young men look to the westnSpeak for yourself you'll pass the testnFortune beholds the brave so they saynQuestions unanswered the risk they might paynI listen I can hearnPounding like thundern[Chorus]nFade
