Birmingham Lyrics

Birmingham lyrics

The Statue of Liberty outside of Birmingham

Stands by the highway, raises its lily white hand

Boatloads of people rush to America's Birmingham



And you're damned if you do and you're damned if you don't

So you get yourself a job just to take something home

Now there's food on the table but nothing left over in Birmingham



Birmingham is just a place

Birmingham is just a place to be



And you're working for nothing, making a living

Meanwhile the kingpins are making a killing

Boatloads of people are ready and willing in Birmingham



We live on the edge of a brand new world order

Breaking down factories, breaking down borders

The only surprise is the dream's still alive down in Birmingham



Birmingham is just a place

Birmingham is just a place to be



The Statue of Liberty outside of Birmingham

Stands by the highway, raises its lily white hand

To bless all who pass the rush hour, masses of Birmingham
