Fred Small - Death In Disguise Lyrics
All my lifeWorking at the factoryThe pay looked mighty good to meWhen my body was my ownDoctor won't look me in the eyeMy youngest child asks whyI won't ever see her grown.CHORUS:Now I can feel the darknessGrowing wild inside meCatching my soul by surpriseYou know that you've made itYou got your home, your job, and some good timesThen they tell you it was death in disguise.In the consultation roomThey explain the x-ray slideI stop the rising tideOf self-pity and cold fearPale in the fluorescent lightI find no one left to fightAnd remember all my careless years.CHORUSHalf the town works thereSo people fear the truthThere's no conclusive proofThere's any danger in those fumesThe company never saw my faceThey've got another in my placeAnother life to be consumed.CHORUS
