Birmingham

Birmingham - Patty Larkin

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
