Son Volt - When the Wheels Don't Move lyrics
rate meWho'll work the assembly line?<br />
Who'll pull the freight on time?<br />
Who'll work the all night haul?<br />
Who'll explain it all when the wheels don't move?<br />
<br />
Bigger chariots didn't save Rome<br />
Easy money didn't stay at home<br />
They said the iron horse would always roam<br />
Who'll tell the children when the wheels don't move?<br />
<br />
Man's power over nature<br />
Hubris and greed let the fossil fuels burn<br />
No way to keep the wings in flight<br />
When the turbine engines don't move<br />
<br />
Going green a casino catch phrase<br />
Ethanol's made of smoke and mirrors<br />
Who makes the decision to feed the tanks<br />
And not the mouths when the wheels don't move?<br />
When the wheels don't move<br />
<br />
Red planet as salvation<br />
Divine hope turns to depredation<br />
Who'll be left to make that station?<br />
Devoid of God and nation we trust<br />
The wheels don't move<br />
<br />
When wheels don't move<br />
When the wheels don't move<br />
When the wheels don't move<br /><br />
