We chant slogans to overthrow, But misread the winds, our aim misplaced.
We redden like brick walls, Blood-red seeping to our noses.
We howl our love for you, Coughing, choking, gasping for breath.
Fresh as tender sprouts are we, Education rotting to our senses.
We naively followed your lead, Now powerless even to weep.
An era of iron slag, An era of iron slag.
Steel, steel, how it was never forged, Steel, steel, how it was never forged.
Steel, steel, how it was never forged.
Steel, steel, how it was never forged.
Steel, steel, how it was never forged.
Steel, steel, how it was never forged.
Steel, steel, steel, steel, steel, steel, steel, steel.
