Joseph Lee lost his job today
|
The man's got so much to lose
|
Wonders what his wife and kids will say
|
It's a common situation for someone in his shoes
|
Ever since his eighteenth birthday he's been out here on the clock
|
He's been moving up and inside the white man's machine
|
For twenty years he worked hard
|
To make it to the top
|
Still the boss man couldn't say why he chose Joseph Lee
|
No one says a thing around here in this small town
|
We're all scratching for the same dirty workerman's pay
|
I haven't lived as long as he
|
But I grew up with the same dreams
|
I hope the lord forgives me
|
If I look the other way
|
|
But the world turns a revolution
|
Turns around each and every day
|
Maybe someday we will find a new solution
|
For the changes the world goes through today
|
|
The world is upside down
|
Things just don't seem to make sense
|
No one sees the clock as it unwinds
|
Greed and lust and gain
|
Fuel the filth of the machine
|
As the right thing to do
|
Becomes the last thing on our minds
|
|
Chorus

No one says a thing here in this small town
|
We're all scratching for the same dirty workers pay
|
I haven't lives as long as he
|
But I grew up with the same dreams
|
I hope the lord forgives me if I look the other way
|
Look the other way
|
