When I went to work this morning
They said it's my last day
Thirty years means nothing
Got no severance pay
I guess my loyalty is forgotten
It's gone, gone away
I remember when I started
A strong and hungry youth
I was honest and goodhearted
And most people spoke the truth
I guess the truth is long gone
It's gone, gone away
I believed I had to work hard
And to build I had to sweat
And dreams were just for fools
And my tools made me forget
I guess my time is long gone
It's gone, gone away
Instead of trying to understand now
We go and grab a gun
We post our lives on billboards
And that's what we call fun
The connection's growing dim
It's gone, gone away
Our connection is growing dim
It's gone, gone away
Gone Away
