SQUARED OFF LYRICS

"Rusted Nail"

Let me tell you about the good ol' times
When the working towns were the backbone of life
The pride, the glory, the working class
Prosperous times down Mainstreet Lane
Then it tumbled down when the final punch came
The end! Laid off! Shutdown the lines!
Once the streets were filled with victory
Now are terminated by the economy
The lost! The cursed! The lower class!

[Chorus:]
Just like a rusted nail
Forgotten and thrown away
Emptiness consumes the plant no whistle will cry today
Just like a rusted nail
Getting weaker every day
Morality at an all time low, it's all gone away

Years have passed and the factory is gone
The streets go dirty and the cars are on the lawn
Hard life! Hard times! Unemployment line!
What the rich deem as rundown
To the rest of the world we call it hometown!
The last! The down! Blue collar strife!

[Chorus]

The luster's gone, nothing left but broken families
The docks don't show no life today, all trade end here
Empty shelves tell us nothing lasts forever
Empty buildings left with broken dreams, all dreams end here

Just like a rusted nail
Forgotten and thrown away
Just like a rusted nail
Forgotten and thrown away
Just like a rusted nail
Forgotten and thrown away
Just like a rusted nail
Forgotten and thrown away
The whistle won't cry this time at 5 o' clock today
