The Circus [Remix]

[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] 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] 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 [Verse 2: Andy Bell] 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] There was once a future For a working man There was once a lifetime For a skillful hand Yesterday [Chorus: Andy Bell] 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 2: Andy Bell] There was once a future For a working man There was once a lifetime For a skillful hand Yesterday [Chorus: Andy Bell] 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 [Outro: Andy Bell] Putting back the pieces of a broken dream I'm broken I'm broken dream
