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
