lyrics

US steel 40 years I work my back bone to the ground
Dust and heat and those whirling machines all by y side
Wish I could lay my hands down
I’ve grown tired of all this rushing around

US steel 40 years I am proud to say
Metal burns breathes fire in my eyes and lights my way
Never been one to fuss and moan
Keep my body strong my wife and family in my home

US steel 40 years I have been dissatisfied
Raise my voice with my brothers when we have things to say
Who’s that who’s there who are you killing today
Who’s that who’s there Who’s dying for his pay
Repeat last two lines

US steel 40 years lived strong God’s way
Sunrise wake and throw my back out everyday
Now I must lay my hand down
They’ve grown tired battered and worn

US steel 40 years send for the doctor I’m dying now
Just like my brothers my body’s being torn
Stem from stern and limb from limb
Stem from stern and limb from limb
It’s all from within

US steel US steel
US steel
How much of my body did you steal?
