paroles de chanson The Circus - 2009 Remastered Version - Erasure , Flood

Call it new technology
And they use it to burn, and they show no concern
Work for their prosperity
While the big wheels turn, now it's too late to learn

Don't upset the teacher
Though we know he lied to you
Don't upset the preacher
He's gonna close his eyes for you

And it's a shame that you're so afraid
Just a worker waiting in a pouring rain
Putting back the pieces of a broken dream
Putting back the pieces of a broken dream

Father worked in industry
Now the work has moved on and the factory's gone
See them sell your history
Where once you were strong and you used to belong

There was once a future
For a working man
There was once a lifetime
For a skilful hand
Yesterday

And it's a shame that you're so afraid
Just a worker waiting in a pouring rain
Putting back the pieces of a broken dream
Putting back the pieces of a broken dream

There was once a future
For a working man
There was once a lifetime
For a skilful hand
Yesterday

And it's a shame that you're so afraid
Just a worker waiting in the pouring rain
Putting back the pieces of the broken dream
Putting back the pieces of the broken dream (of the broken dreams)
Putting back the pieces of the broken dream
Of the broken, of the broken dream
