Birmingham

[Verse 1]
The Statue of Liberty
Outside of Birmingham
Stands by the highway
Raises its lily white hand
Boatloads of people
Rush to America's Birmingham

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
Birmingham is
Just a place
Birmingham is
Just a place to be

[Verse 3]
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

[Verse 4]
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

[Chorus]
Birmingham is
Just a place
Birmingham is
Just a place to be

[Verse 5]
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
