	作曲 : Rice, Rudder
	Once a great ironworks
	Stood at the end of my street
	And they hauled in The Monitor
	Fit her with armor
	For to save the union fleet
	The River James was on fire
	As The Merrimack thundered and raged
	And she seemed so colossal and so unstoppable
	Until the two engaged
	And inside the sound
	A deafening din, round after round, again and again
	Shattering down, shattering down, shattering down
	The neighborhood's quiet at night
	But sometimes my ears still ring
	And you think I'd understand
	That a rock-n-roll band
	Doesn't mean a blessed thing
	But I picture the poor crew stunned
	When the cannons did finally subside
	How they stand on the deck
	With the sun at their neck
	And they wonder if they're still alive
	And I try to shout
	But none of them hear
	They're moving their mouths
	But the blood in their ears
	Is running down, running down, running down
	And we're singing la da da da da da
	And we're singing la da da da da da
	And we're singing la da da da da da
	But what then?
	It's stunning to know I've survived
	But I'm not sure what I'm fighting for anymore
	And when I break another string
	And continue to sing
	Is that courage? I'm not sure.
	When the ironclads drifted apart
	Still blue and still gray
	The men shoveled in the coal
	And worked the pumps in the hull
	Just like every other day
	And none of them knew
	Oh, none of them cared
	How much it just changed right then and right there
	They just carried on, carried on, carried on
	And we're singing la da da da da da
	And we're singing la da da da da da
	And we're singing la da da da da da
	But what then?
	And we're singing la da da da da da
	And we're singing la da da da da da
	And we're singing la da da da da da
	But what then?
