Now the yards just scrap and rubble
他說,“那些大小伙子做了希特勒做不了的事情”
He said, 'Them big boys did what Hitler couldn't do'
他們在工廠裡製造坦克和炸彈
These mills they built the tanks and bombs
幫助國家打了勝仗
That won this country's wars
我們把子孫送去朝鮮和越南戰場

每天造出七百噸鋼鐵
The story's always the same
現在,先生,你卻告訴我世界已經變了
Seven-hundred tons of metal a day
我的血汗成就了你的富有
