What Are You Working For Lyrics - The Buffalo Skinners - Big Country

All the rain came down 

On a cold new town 

As it carried you away 

From your father's hand 

That always seemed like a fist 

Reaching out to make you pay 

He came like a hero from the factory floor 

With the sun and moon as gifts 

But the only son you ever saw 

Were the two he left you with 

Oh Lord where did the feeling go 

Oh Lord I never felt so low 

Now the skirts hang so heavy around your head 

That you never knew you were young 

Because you played chance with a lifetime's romance 

And the price was far too long 

Oh Lord where did the feeling go 

Oh Lord I never felt so low 

Oh Lord where did the feeling go 

Oh Lord I never felt so low 

Oh Lord where did the feeling go 

Oh Lord I never felt so low 

Oh Lord where did the feeling go 

Oh Lord I never felt so low 

Oh Lord where did the feeling go 

Oh Lord I never felt so low
