Industrial Wasteland

Drove through the Park today
Came across some closed gate
A sign in front, just to say
“Our greed sealed our own fate”

Not one, but two and more
Gates of giants closed with bars
Strikers wandering, their only chore
No more lines to build those cars.

It’s all just an Industrial Wasteland
A tired space where no one stands
The wind and weeds will overtake
Since there’s nothing left there to make.

It’s just a shame
It’s just a crime
We’re all to blame
We’re short on time.

They ruled the market
And sucked us all in
With their profit target
And crooked Union.

It’s all just an Industrial Wasteland
A tired space where no one stands
The wind and weeds will overtake
Since there’s nothing left there to make.

Now jobless and homeless
Their victims piled high
Our taxes now support the mess
And all we can do is cry.

We all must now live differently
And forget the tragic past
Learn from those who wisely
Lived so they would last.

It’s all just an Industrial Wasteland
A tired space where no one stands
The wind and weeds will overtake
Since there’s nothing left there to make.
