The Ballad of U.S. Steel Phil Ochs

[Intro]
Here's a song called "The Ballad of U.S. Steel"

[Verse 1]
There was a man named Roger Blough, the head of U.S. Steel
He went to see the president to try and make a deal
And he said, "I've got to tell you we need a small price rise"
But honest John just looked at him with ice cold steely eyes

[Chorus]
U.S. Steel won't be stealing anymore
JFK come to life and close the door
They shoveled slag on the public's back
Inflation raced down the track
U.S. Steel won't be stealing anymore

[Verse 2]
Well, JFK paced up and down, he wasn't very pleased
He said, "My daddy told me they're a bunch of SOBs
This follow the leader pricing, it is cake with too much icing
Adam Smith is turning over if this is free enterprising"

[Chorus]
U.S. Steel won't be stealing anymore
JFK come to life and close the door
They shoveled slag on the public's back
Inflation raced down the track
U.S. Steel won't be stealing anymore
