lyrics

Why don’t we make up our minds
And start finding better times
This creek of love we had
Has trickled down, it’s oh so sad

We thought we’d get caught in the flood
Ms. Gold and Mr. Mud
But our bond would bridge that stream
Construction workers, you and me

This is where the river used to run
You see it by the marks in the ground
Not a drop of water in sight
But the bridge stands proud
The flood’s been dried
But the bridge stands proud

So why don’t we make up our minds
Let’s tear this damn bridge down
We’ve been around too long
Not to know this bitter song

Our flood has changed its course
Now I’ve got mine and you’ve got yours
And that’s where we should be
Construction working separately
Construction workers, you and me
