^EmJoe spoke no english but he had ^Ga dream And he s^Aaved up most of his pay ^G ^EmTo bring his wife and si^Gx kids from Lebanon And sett^Gle down ^Dhere to^A stay

^EmYou could feel the prison of his^G loneliness He would^An't see them for^G years He kept ^Embrandy behind the compre^Gssed air tanks And he g^Gulped it when th^De coast was cle^Aar

^EmNick the Greek collected^G tropical fish ^AHad to be a character to^Go ^EmSmuggled in Pirhana just to brea^Gk the law And he f^Ged them ^Don kang^Aaroo

^EmBob's pride was his hand^Glebar moustache ^ASaid he still combed out^G sand ^EmPushed a tank through th^Ge Sahara desert So they ^Gmade him the lea^Dding ha^And

^EmAnd the summer night shifts were^G long and cool ^ACharlie chain smoked cig^Gars ^EmDavid sweated in his spe^Gckled paint mask As he ga^Gzed out ^Dat the ^Astars

^EmCrazy Charlie was a Yugo^Gslav His old ^Astraight eight Chevy cou^Gld move His ambi^Emtion was to live on a hi^Gppie commune When Dave told h^Gim about^D free l^Aove

^EmFred had been a farmer and a hea^Gvyweight champ ^AHands like a stump jump ^Gplough ^EmMoved the earth with a t^Ghrust of his arms He was loading o^Gn the pa^Dint lin^Ae now

And the ^Emboys made a noise every ^GFriday night At the b^Aar of the Hilton^G Hotel ^EmDowning pints and chewin^Gg the fat Till the ten o'c^Glock clo^Dsing be^All

It was o^Emnly rumour til the forem^Gan came And hidi^Ang his shame with a coug^Gh He said ^Emthey're cutting back down to one^G shift now They're ^Ggonna have to la^Dy you o^Aff

^EmJoe held his gaze and gu^Glped a brandy And spat^A it out at his f^Geet ^EmBob stood bolt still loo^Gking thunderstruck Nick swo^Gre for a^Dn hour ^Ain Greek

Their an^Emger was spent in a rush ^Gof fire And smou^Aldered out of mi^Gnd ^EmWhen they shook hands on that la^Gst grey day Each was^G in his ^Dway res^Aigned

Then a f^Emew days later I ^Gsaw old Joe ^ALooking like he'd aged t^Gen years ^EmDrunk on the tiles at th^Ge Stag Hotel And he c^Gouldn't hold bac^Dk the t^Aears

^EmFred had talked of his grueling heavywei^Gght bouts I rememb^Aered what he'd s^Gaid There's ^Emno giving up on that kil^Gling floor ^GIf you don't fig^Dht you'^Are dead

If you w^Emork with your hands for your liv^Gelihood Some day^A you might have to choos^Ge ^EmWhen the class war rages on the ^Gfactory floor ^GIf you don't fig^Dht you ^Alose If you don't fight you loose...
