What Am I Supposed to Do

I hired on back in '85
 February 28.
 They stuck me on that midnight shift
 It became the job that I loved to hate
 Met a girl and we said our vows
 Tried for a kid, ended up with two
 Now it seems that they're shuttin' this town down
 What am I supposed to do?
 What am I supposed to do, Lord?
 What am I supposed to do?
 When this is all I have ever known
 What am I supposed to do?
 
 I reside on the northeast side
 Where the family settled back in '33
 I sold the car just to save the house
 It's gettin' hard to hold on to anything
 Well them union boys, they made some noise
 In the end, they had to feed their families too
 Them dues I paid, they can't help me now
 So what am I supposed to do?
 What am I supposed to do, Lord?
 What am I supposed to do?
 When this is all I have ever known
 What am I supposed to do?
 ♪
 I sit by as the city slowly dies
 And I wonder about my fate
 All the sympathy on the evening news
 I've had about all I can take
 I'm forty-five and I've got no place to hide
 I've got nothing left to lose
 Is this what I get after all that I gave?
 What am I supposed to do?
 What am I supposed to do, Lord?
 What am I supposed to do?
 When this is all I have ever known
 What am I supposed to do?
 What am I supposed to do, Lord?
 What am I supposed to do?
 When this is all I have ever known
 What am I supposed to do?
