[intro: andy bell]
now then!
excuse me! excuse me!
what’s this little dispute going on on my concert?!
eh?
now then, don’t be nasty!
it’s up to us to provide the circus!

[verse 1: andy bell]
call it new technology
and they use it to burn
and they show no concern
work for their prosperity
while the big wheels turn
now it’s too late to learn
[pre*chorus 1: andy bell, derek smith & steve myers]
don’t upset the teacher
though we know he lied to you
don’t upset the preacher
he’s gonna close his eyes for you

[chorus: andy bell, derek smith & steve myers]
and it’s a shame
that you’re so afraid
just a worker waiting in thе pouring rain
putting back the pieces of a brokеn dream
putting back the pieces of a broken dream

[verse 2: andy bell, derek smith & steve myers]
father worked in industry
now the work has moved on
and the factory’s gone
see them sell your history
where once you were strong
and you used to belong

[pre*chorus 2: andy bell, derek smith & steve myers]
there was once a future
for a working man
there was once a lifetime
for a sk!llful hand
yesterday
[chorus: andy bell, derek smith & steve myers]
and it’s a shame
that you’re so afraid
just a worker waiting in the pouring rain
putting back the pieces of a broken dream
putting back the pieces of a broken dream

[interlude]

[pre*chorus 1: andy bell, derek smith & steve myers]
don’t upset the teacher
though we know he lied to you
don’t upset the preacher
he’s gonna close his eyes for you

[chorus: andy bell, derek smith & steve myers]
and it’s a shame
that you’re so afraid
just a worker waiting in the pouring rain
putting back the pieces of a broken dream

[verse 3: andy bell, derek smith & steve myers]
tempers fray so easily
in desperate despair
is there anyone who cares?
just another tragedy
just a personal affair
in a room somewhere
[pre*chorus 3: andy bell, derek smith & steve myers]
don’t upset the future
though we know he lied to you
there was once a lifetime
for a sk!llful hand
yesterday

[chorus: andy bell, derek smith & steve myers]
and it’s a shame
that you’re so afraid
just a worker waiting in the pouring rain
putting back the pieces of a broken dream
of a broken
putting back the pieces of a broken dream
putting back
putting back the pieces of a broken dream

[outro: andy bell]
thank you!
thank you!
