Our school days gone, we surrender our youth
Our fantasies shattered, we discover the truth
,,,
The only way forward,we’re led to believe
Too young our minds, too young to conceive

Thunder of hammers that beat steel to shape
The heat of the furnace, the sweat down our nape

A twelve hour shift, for a pittance of pay
No time for the family, no time to play
