See the anger, see the [bad word] through this world
On the scrap heap at the age of 40 and now he doesn't work
Union bosses promised him safety, sold him out again
Now he sits alone and hides, sits to hide his shame
 [bad word] 
See the dirt of all the ages ground in to my hands,
is this what I really worked for, is this my green and pleasant land?

Sees the queues for work get longer retreats in to his shell
Remembers the pride of his forefathers, but only now and again
The anger in his mind grows stronger he doubts his sanity
Reduced to a beggar by the state a name, a number, one of many
 [bad word] 
The state of his mind is now in confusion as bad times linger on
Tragedy, [bad word]  the show has played too long
His grand finale is a short one with nowhere left to hide
He leaves the world another number, another suicide!
 [bad word]
