lyrics
Joe Valeri he’s a working man
Had a steady job up on Sydney Road
He built those V8 engines
Those muscle machines
Engine oil made him glow
Whispers down the line
Writing on the wall
Names of those next in line to go
No matter how they tried the numbers wouldn’t lie
Come summer those doors would close.
Now he says they’re made in Asia or the US of A
There’s not much work for a man like me
The lion’s lost its soul
The Falcon’s had its last release.
I’m all for this open economy
So long it don’t take a nation’s pride
See these empty factories
These chained gates
It’s no wonder us grown men cried
Yeah the unions flexed their muscles it was all they could do
A few payouts a golden egg or two
The lion’s lost its soul
the Falcon’s had its last release
