Close It Down by Wolfstone
Close It Down
C G C F
Fifteen long years in the strip mill at Ravenscraig,
C F C G
twenty-five more in the bowels of the earth,
C G C F
digging for fuel to fire the bosses
C F G C
who turn around and tell us that we've no more work.
(Chorus)
C G C F
Close it down, shut it. Not enough profit.
C F C G
Padlock the gates, aye, and send the men home.
C G C F
No sir, not viable; we've become liable
C F G C
for the working class people, whose work is all done.
C G C F
Long days in the shipyards, quietly waiting,
C F C G
redundancy notice in holiday pay.
C G C F
Privatized power for fortunate people
C F G C
with shares in the marketplace ready to trade.
(Chorus)
C G C F
Fat cats are sharing the cream of the booty
C F C G
while people lay shivering in boxes of card.
C G C F
No jobs today; come back tomorrow.
C F G C
We'll tell you the same thing, it isn't so hard.
(Chorus)
C G C F
Lay off the workers, the fathers, the sons;
C F C G
people who spent their lives under the ground
C G C F
earning a wage for a family to keep all their
C F G C
heads above water, 'til the next work is found.
