WHIRLWIND Every cities got an artery where the blind breaks down An avenue or a boulevard and a boy who wears a crown Indignant life styles implies simply lack of means Dognatical authoritarians dictate the cities remain A promise to go to heaven won't put salvation in sight Whirlwind is coming, whirlwind is coming A promise to go to heaven won't put salvation in sight Whirlwind is comin' down on me When the factory shut down so did the place he lived Blood money for junk bonds by a white collar fugitive All the tax free incentives ain't goin' to help him now Generations of job security gone out like the horse and plow A promise to go to heaven won't put salvation in sight Whirlwind is coming, whirlwind is coming A promise to go to heaven won't put salvation in sight Whirlwind is comin' down on me My old man worked his troubled life in a nowhere dead end He drank the pain away, I'll be damned if that's me having my dreams robbed The working class carries a country that has been rotting inside for years The rigs cuffed my old man in the front yard, I saw through my eyes of tears Whirlwind is coming, whirlwind is coming A promise to go to heaven won't put salvation in sight Whirlwind is comin' down on me
