| Take a skilled man’s trade and leave it all to waste
|
| Strip him of his flesh you’ll bear his skin and bone
|
| The more he’s pushed around the stronger he becomes
|
| This is where he will prevail
|
| You can push this man yet he never falls
|
| The strong and silent, the man of stone
|
| The strong and silent to each his own
|
| There is no other way, persistence
|
| To each his own there is no other way
|
| How can the weak depend solely on their fate
|
| Keeping to himself he will never say a word
|
| You can’t tear him down his skin will not be torn
|
| His face made of stone his heart solid gold
|
| This is where he will prevail
|
| You can push this man yet he never falls
|
| The strong and silent, the man of stone
|
| The strong and silent to each his own
|
| How can you be so strong taking it day by day
|
| With all the politics and all the union filth
|
| He will fight for himself
|
| He will grow old, the truth will show
|
| He will fight for his own
|
| The strong and silent, the man of stone
|
| The strong and silent, the man of stone
|
| The strong and silent to each his own |
