I started out Union man, like my father before me. At 15 I took a job at a Hamilton automotive line, and I made a living on that floor and I thought that it would last but corporate interests swept us away. I lost my job, my pension and my severance has run out; 30 years of service looks like nothing on a page. How the fuck did this happen? I spent my whole life in a lie. I traded in the things worth living for, exchanged them with a dying way of life. When I was young it was so easy to imagine glory, like my heroes in the war. I enlisted right when I could and I served my country and my family best as I knew how. Well, I got gold on my shoulder and I got respect inside my field but I've been walking in this desert for 8 years. I missed the birth of my daughter, missed the death of my father and it looks like I won't be coming home. How the fuck did this happen? I spent my whole life in a lie. I traded in the things worth living for exchanged them with a dying way of life. Son, I'm looking for a way out here, could you please show me the path. My frail old eyes can't see like they used to but I'll find my way back home. On your death bed, what will you choose to remember? Making other people rich ending other people's lives, or the moments where you felt like you were alive just for a second? Where you felt like there is something more than just working. How the fuck did this happen? I spent my whole life in a lie. I traded in the things worth living for exchanged them with a dying way of life. Son, I'm looking for a way out here, could you please show me the path. My frail old eyes can't see like they used to but I'll find my way back home. Oh yes, I'll find my way back home.
