Guy Verlinde - Sacred Ground lyrics

Your rating:

Straight out of school, into the factory 
Build a home, support your family 
Just like your dad did before 

Early shifts, working overtime 
Cash in hand at the assembly line 
Movin’ up, but so little around 

& your sacred ground, sacred ground 
Your frustration, my way out 
Your sacred ground, sacred ground 
Lifted the future while it anchored you down 

One for all, all for the company 
Was just a one-way solidarity 
When you needed it most 

No politician & no union man 
Knew how to lead this money dance 
As they turned you into the unemployment line 

& your sacred ground, sacred ground 
Your depression, my safe cloud 
Your sacred ground, sacred ground 
Built the new world while it broke you down 

Between the first punch in, the last kick out 
I became a man. As they left diggin’ for gold 
All those dreams you held so close 
Slipped out of your hands 
When they shut down, oh they shut down 

Your sacred ground, sacred ground 
All is quiet since they left town 
Your sacred ground, sacred ground 
But don’t let those bastards 
Don’t let those bastards grind you down
