Music by elton john<br>Lyrics by bernie taupin<br>Available on the album ice on fire<br><br>It's closing time the boys are all together at the bar<br>Staring in their glasses<br>Looks like another layoff at the yard<br><br>Yesterday I heard union hall come down<br>They hit it with a wrecking ball<br>And they try but nothing changes in this town<br><br>Cap in hand stood in line<br>Your family ties are the chains that bind<br>The endless wheel goes round and round<br>Chances are you'll never leave this town<br>Oh oh no<br><br>Like a river now the empty streets are flooded out with rain<br>It's falling on the playground<br>While the kids get wet playing the same old games<br><br>Locked away so many things remind them of war<br>They tap the pavement with their canes<br>The good old days ain't so good no more
