Small Fred Death In Disguise
All my life Working at the factory The pay looked mighty good to me When my body was my own Doctor won't look me in the eye My youngest child asks why I won't ever see her grown. CHORUS: Now I can feel the darkness Growing wild inside me Catching my soul by surprise You know that you've made it You got your home, your job, and some good times Then they tell you it was death in disguise. In the consultation room They explain the x-ray slide I stop the rising tide Of self-pity and cold fear Pale in the fluorescent light I find no one left to fight And remember all my careless years. CHORUS Half the town works there So people fear the truth There's no conclusive proof There's any danger in those fumes The company never saw my face They've got another in my place Another life to be consumed. CHORUS
