lyrics

The gears of this city have been grinding since 1800 and something
Now I’m sitting in this old factory here in modern times
And I get this strange feeling as I look out over the buildings
I think to myself what it must have been like

They don’t make ‘em like they used to anymore
Not for fifty years or maybe more, I can’t be sure
They don’t make ‘em like they used to anymore

Industrialization following reconstruction
Oh, boy that must’ve been something
But that was long ago, well before my time
Now those two bedroom loft apartments are looking mighty fine

They don’t make ‘em like they used to anymore
Not for fifty years or maybe more, I can’t be sure
They don’t make ‘em like they used to anymore

Now the gears of this city are done grinding, hung on display for decoration
To serve as a reminder of better times
And don’t you miss that sweet nostalgia, because nothing lasts forever
That’s what keeps the past and present a great divide

They don’t make ‘em like they used to anymore
Not for fifty years or maybe more, I can’t be sure
They don’t make ‘em like they used to anymore
