Another One Shuts Down

Another One Shuts Down Gates and boards and reels of wire Garbage by the gates Driveway overgrown with grass The factory is a state Security checks once an hour To make sure all's still locked Another business shut it's door the economy was rocked Another workplace bites the dust Another one shuts down To find the business district here You've got to leave the town They're closing up 'bout one a month Jobs are leaving by the score When you leave, turn out the lights And please folks, lock the door Work is leaving faster than It has ever in the past There's more folks on assistance How long will this all last? Fifty years a hundred ten Factories closing shop There's more buildings that are vacant Our growth came to a stop It doesn't matter where you go It's all the bottom line If they can do it cheaper Then out goes the "CLOSING" sign It all comes down to profit You're a number not a name It doesn't matter where you go Plant closure is the game Another workplace bites the dust Another one shuts down To find the business district here You've got to leave the town They're closing up 'bout one a month Jobs are leaving by the score When you leave, turn out the lights And please folks, lock the door
