Oh Industry Lyrics - Beaches - Bette Midler

I am the captain and this is my shrine 

Lord of the manor, see what I leave behind 

River in flames, cities on fire 

Yes, I'm a relic trapped in the wire 

Hydrogen fuel, it burns so clean 

Throbs in the veins, a mother lovin' machine 

She is my wife, her mechanical heart 

Constantly serving 'til death do us part 

Now a glorious war draws to a close 

The yellow winds blow and I have to know 

Oh industry, whatever will become of me? 

Soon the cruel rains will start 

Is it true we must part company? 

Oh industry, whatever will become of me? 

What have I ever done? Where did I go wrong? 

Joined at the hip pain, hunger and I 

Leave our gift to the world 'neath the phosphorous sky 

A labor of love is the truest of all 

But will I be forsaken after the fall? 

Now a glorious war draws to a close 

The yellow winds blow and I have to know 

Oh industry, whatever will become of me? 

Nothing after the flood but the fire and the mud's prophecy 

Oh industry, whatever will become of me? Of me 

Industry, charity, faith, hope 

Industry, charity, faith, hope 

Industry, charity, faith, hope 

Industry, charity, faith, hope 

Industry, charity, faith, hope
