Lyrics
Who's gonna fix it when we're gone?
We will, we will.
Who's gonna answer when the pager's on?
We will, we will.
Four in ten of us are fifty -five or more.
Over thirty schools have gone and shut the door.
Left 23 states without a single one
About 400 grads a year and thousands of jobs to be done
Who's gonna fix it when we're gone?
We will, we will
Who's gonna answer when the pager's on?
We will, we will
Pass that meter down the line
4 ,400 waiting for their time
Now they say nobody knows this job exists
Tell that to the 4 ,400 on the waiting list
They wanna learn the trade
They're knocking at the gate
So roll your cart on over
Don't you make them wait
Who's gonna fix it when we're gone?
We will, we will.
Who's going to answer when the pager's on?
We will, we will.
Pass that meter down the line. 4 ,400 waiting
for their time
Who taught you the ones before?
Who you gonna teach the ones at the door?
Who's gonna fix it when we're gone?
We will, we will!
Who's gonna answer when the pagers on we will we will pass that meter down
the line 4 400 waiting for their time
