I'm old weak and grey and i'm running out of time

Yeah but you should have seen me brother

I was a steel working man with 2 kids and loving wife

And the union was strong smokestacks burning day and night

But then the accountants and lawyers and bosses at u s steel

直到会计 律师和钢铁公司的高管们

Sent down the word we had to take their rotten deal

上头传话要我们接受这屈辱条件

But from birmingham to pueblo oakland to allentown

The workers got together and we shut the big boys down

The 59 years disappeared in the blink of an eye

五十九载光阴转瞬即逝

And i feel like a stranger in world that isn't mine

My dear wife died my kids all moved away

Cause there's nothing round here to make them want to stay

Cause the factories are in ruins decent jobs are hard to find

And you can't get ahead no matter how hard you try

无论如何努力都难以出人头地

Cause the big boys make the rules tough luck for everyone else

权贵们制定规则 普通人只能认命

And out on the streets brother it's every man for himself

街头巷尾 人人自危各自为营

I still remember when we marched side by side

仍记得当年我们并肩游行的光景
