lyrics

LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT THE GOOD OL' TIMES
WHEN THE WORKING TOWNS WERE THE BACKBONE OF LIFE
THE PRIDE! THE GLORY! THE WORKING CLASS!
PROSPEROUS TIMES DOWN MAINSTREET LANE
THEN IT TUMBLED DOWN WHEN THE FINAL PUNCH CAME!
THE END! LAID OFF! SHUT DOWN THE LINES!
ONCE THE STREETS WERE FILLED WITH VICTORY
NOW ARE TERMINATED BY THE ECONOMY
THE LOST! THE CURSED! THE LOWER CLASS!
chorus
JUST LIKE A RUSTED NAIL
FORGOTTEN AND THROWN AWAY EMPTINESS CONSUMES THE PLANT
NO WHISTLE WILL CRY TODAY
JUST LIKE A RUSTED NAIL
GETTING WEAKER EVERYDAY MORALITY AT AN ALL TIME LOW
IT'S ALL GONE AWAY
YEARS HAVE PAST AND THE FACTORY IS GONE
THE STREETS GO DIRTY AND THE CARS ARE ON THE LAWN
HARD LIFE! HARD TIMES! UNEMPLOYMENT LINE!
WHAT THE RICH DEEM IT AS RUNDOWN
TO THE REST OF THE WORLD WE CALL IT HOMETOWN!!
THE LAST! THE DOWN! BLUE COLLAR STRIFE!
chorus
THE LUSTER'S GONE NOTHING LEFT BUT BROKEN FAMILIES
THE DOCKS DON'T SHOW NO LIFE TODAY ALL TRADES END HERE
EMPTY SHELVES TELL US NOTHING LAST FOREVER
EMPTY BUILDINGS LEFT WITH BROKEN DREAMS
ALL DREAMS END HERE
chorus
JUST LIKE A RUSTED NAIL
FORGOTTEN AND THROWN AWAY
EMPTINESS CONSUMES THE PLANT
NO WHISTLE WILL CRY TODAY
JUST LIKE A RUSTED NAIL
GETTING WEAKER EVERYDAY
MORALITY AT AN ALL TIME LOW
IT ALL GONE AWAY
JUST LIKE A RUSTED NAIL
FORGOTTEN AND THROWN AWAY
JUST LIKE A RUSTED NAIL
GETTING WEAKER EVERYDAY
JUST LIKE A RUSTED NAIL
FORGOTTEN AND THROWN AWAY
THE WHISTLE WON'T CRY THIS TIME
AT 5 O' CLOCK TODAY

Squared Off Chicago, Illinois

Squared Off is a 4-piece street punk band hailing from Chicago IL. Since 1996, Squared Off has been playing in small basements, local dive bars and large touring venues. These guys bring out some of punk’s forgotten ideals of brotherhood, pride, and the words of the working class. Squared Off’s music gives you the sense of kinship with the understanding of the struggles of society today. ... more
