Yep, some of the foundries and drop-forges I went to reminded me of Hell
"Well my daddy worked the furnaces
Kept 'em hotter than hell
I come home from 'Nam worked my way to scarfer
A job that'd suit the devil as well
Taconite, coke and limestone
Fed my children and made my pay"
"From the Monongahela valley
To the Mesabi iron range
To the coal mines of Appalachia
The story's always the same
Seven hundred tons of metal a day
Now sir you tell me the world's changed
Once I made you rich enough
Rich enough to forget my name"
'Youngstown' Bruce Springsteen
For a guy that jumped on the Clinton bandwagon, he writes pretty good
songs. I don't know if he ever listens to them though.
