The siren screams to start the day You get up
early to earn your pay Push the button throw that
switch Turbines roar their unholy pitch I listen I
can hear Pounding like thunder Pistons push the
steel on steel Steam filled air turns the wheel
The wheel in turn takes the strain Pounds the
beat again and again Chorus: Metal on metal The
feeling of steel Someone is driving But you've
got the wheel The workers sing the same old song
Machines in motion they're never wrong You think
in time you will be free But a factory man is
what you'll be I listen I can hear Pounding like
thunder Pistons push the steel on steel Steam
filled air turns the wheel The wheel in turn
takes the strain Pounds the beat again and again
Chorus Angry young men look to the west Speak for
yourself you'll pass the test Fortune beholds the
brave so they say Questions unanswered the risk
they might pay I listen I can hear Pounding like
thunder Chorus Fade
