Dropkick Murphys - Tomorrow's Industry lyrics

Young kids in Catholic schools Elderly parents living under your roof You pay the bills and you pay the price You don't back down and you won't play nice The disgraced values of the company man Are why you fight and sacrifice Don't bed or break for their one-way rules Or run from battles you know you'll lose [chorus:] Greed is blinding you But we can see He's got yesterday's values Living in tomorrow's industry They see your eyes, they see your face But it's your soul they wanna take Yeah, welcome to the future it don't seem fair But this is your struggle, the cross you bear They know your paying, they don't think twice There's a dollar value on your life You don't compromise and you don't break Yeah, it's your principles at stake [chorus] The daily outlook it's so bleak Saving every dollar of every week Living month to month, you've got to get ahead But all the while falling deeper in debt [chorus] The weight falls hard on the stand up guy The one you can count on you can rely This is your future it don't seem right But this is your battle, this is your fight Something in this country has got to change If we're ever gonna see those days again Your parents may have done it with just one job But now we're working for less and twice as hard.
