It is a ballad about the avalanche of job losses. As hundred years ago the single hammer-wielding railroad workers became redundant by steam pile drivers, nowadays photographers and printers, journalists and musicians lose their jobs, because the Internet offers a chance to millions of new creative spirits. Modernization can become a great inspiring chance, not always a disaster.
