Industrilization

The monotony enough to drive a poor man mad But what is an old man’s heart in the eyes of production Money’s what we want! Money’s what we want! Let the children work The women too For next to nothing, anything they’ll do Coughing up blood? There’s always another The machines are too dangerous for unshod kids Doesn’t matter Doesn’t matter What are you going to do?
