Ten Years of Service Songtext

von Dropkick Murphys

The status of our future in both past and present time
Is relegated to a member of a higher class than mine
To determine and direct the lives of family men who
Bear the burden of living up to a standard
That doesn't exist in 1999

Who's gonna save us from this lonely picket line?
Ten years of service but I'm still not worth your time

Times maybe changing but I'll never leave behind the hopes
And thoughts I have of better days for families such as mine
Because if history repeats itself and time will surely tell
What goes around is gonna come around
And you'll know our pain too well now

Who's gonna save us from this lonely picket line?
Ten years of service but I'm still not worth your time
And I've seen men give their lives
And heard the stories that they tell of
How they labored for this company which sold it's soul to hell

The status of our future in both past and present time
Is relegated to a member of a higher class than mine
To determine and direct the lives of family men who
Bear the burden of living up to a standard
That doesn't exist in 1999

Who's gonna save us from this lonely picket line
Ten years of service but I'm still not worth your time
And I've seen men give their lives
And heard the stories that they tell of
How they labored for this company which sold it's soul to hell

Who's gonna save us from this lonely picket line
Ten years of service but I'm still not worth your time
