| I hired on back in '85
|
| February 28
|
| They stuck me on that midnight shift
|
| It became the job that I loved to hate
|
| Met a girl and we said our vows
|
| Tried for a kid, ended up with two
|
| Now it seems that they’re shuttin' this town down
|
| What am I supposed to do?
|
| What am I supposed to do, Lord?
|
| What am I supposed to do?
|
| When this is all I have ever know
|
| What am I supposed to do?
|
| I reside on the northeast side
|
| Where the family settled back in '33
|
| I sold the car just to save the house
|
| It’s gettin' hard to hold on to anything
|
| Well them union boys, they made some noise
|
| In the end, they had to feed their families too
|
| Them dues I paid, they can’t help me now
|
| So what am I supposed to do?
|
| What am I supposed to do, Lord?
|
| What am I supposed to do?
|
| When this is all I have ever known
|
| What am I supposed to do?
|
| I sit by as the city slowly dies
|
| And I wonder about my fate
|
| All the sympathy on the evening news
|
| I’ve had about all I can take
|
| I’m forty-five and I’ve got no place to hide
|
| I’ve got nothing left to lose
|
| Is this what I get after all that I gave?
|
| What am I supposed to do?
|
| What am I supposed to do, Lord?
|
| What am I supposed to do?
|
| When this is all I have ever know
|
| What am I supposed to do?
|
| What am I supposed to do, Lord?
|
| What am I supposed to do?
|
| When this is all I have ever know
|
| What am I supposed to do? |
