Long One - Fortunate Youth

They tell 'em not to feel scared

They’re saying that the money and security’s still there

They say we’re fighting for a prayer oh

But now its coming no it’s coming oh I swear I swear

But one day it will soon be here

And when the man

He got so tired of waiting says

Not beaten by the way the government treats the system

Said now you must be strong

Says you got to carry on

And you can be that man, that we’ve been fighting with for so long

Get ready to ride its gonna be a long one

Living and die its gonna be a long one son

You’ve got to try, its gonna be fine fine fine

You and I, its gonna be a long one son

Oh this friend of mine, sitting on the picket line

Wondering how he’s gonna pay his bills this time

The company said the economy has run them dry

But if we can all just work together

You can work here, as long as forever

But we gotta take your pay, straight down to minimum wage

Get ready to ride its gonna be a long one

Living and die its gonna be a long one son

You’ve got to try, its gonna be fine fine fine

You and I, its gonna be a long one son

If you’re unemployed now, you don’t have to be ashamed somehow

You’re just 1 in 400, 000 in a crowd

You see me lift my hand up lift my hand up in the crowd

Filling out applications online, thinking that you’re gonna get a job this time

There’s only 100 of you, but only 2 jobs you got to do

Get ready to ride its gonna be a long one

Living and die its gonna be a long one son

You’ve got to try, its gonna be fine fine fine

You and I, its gonna be a long one son
