bethlehem steel

a child was born in bethlehem

the son of a steel worker union man. he grew up tall and he grew up strong

and when he came of age

all the steel was gone. go to china

to vietnam

there's no more steel left in bethlehem. there's no more steel left in bethlehem. he wants gold

there's no more steel left in bethlehem. save our souls

cos there's no more steel left in bethlehem. a reckless kid wants to use his hands

he's got a real quick trigger and some new demands. he grew so fast

and he grew so free

and when he comes around

he finds there's no more steel. so shaken

to his knees

he's got the same old rocket and a new disease. and he won't take it

on his neck

he's got the red hot whiskey

he's got no respect. he wants gold

there's no more steel left in bethlehem. save our souls

cos there's no more steel left in bethlehem. ooh

ooh. he wants gold

there's no more steel left in bethlehem. save our souls

cos there's no more steel left in bethlehem. you can put your faith in the government

but there's no more steel left in bethlehem. try to get them back

try for reckoning

but there's no more steel left in bethlehem. he wants gold.
