Birmingham Lyrics - Singles - 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
