lyrics

heart of steel where the rivers meet
blacked bridge
cold railing
torn and shipwrecked albums sat
faces that spoke of a time that passed
broken limbs
kitchen gloom
reclining while tv blares the news
get out while you still can
boarded up laundromats
alley cats
red light blinks in secret code
it’s name through
sky once filled with smoke
fire spread across the earth
polluted wells
factories burned
saddest cast on a yellow church
jealous of backs that stand turned
left its soul on the mountainside
stained glass broken
down the picket line
they had their time

chorus
blue collar blood
and a missing thumb

spelled names up and down
hard to find your grandmas house
kettle black
soup cold
family froze while the children boiled
mourning a family name
workers worked
died just the same
disaster dark
poison lead
kids that left an empty bunk bed
new york instead
