Oh Industry Lyrics


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 wireHydrogen 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 partNow 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 startIs 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 ILeave 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 closeThe 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 meIndustry, charity, faith, hope
Industry, charity, faith, hope
Industry, charity, faith, hope
Industry, charity, faith, hope
Industry, charity, faith, hope

Bette Midler (December 1, 1945) is an American singer, actress, and comedian, also known to her fans and especially in gay culture, as The Divine Miss M. She was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, to Jewish parents from New Jersey, and raised there. Midler relocated to New York City to pursue acting on stage, and in 1970 she began singing at the Continental Baths, a gay bathhouse in the city, where she became close to her piano accompanist, Barry Manilow, who produced her first major album, The Divine Miss M in 1973. She is named after the actress Bette Davis although Davis pronounced her name in two syllables, and Midler uses one.

During her career, she has won four Grammy Awards, four Golden Globes, three Emmy Awards, and a Tony Award, and has been nominated for two Academy Awards. She is currently performing a new concert show, The Showgirl Must Go On, live five nights a week as one of the current headliners at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas (together with Cher and Elton John).
