Hermes:
Now everybody knows that walls have ears

Orpheus:
Is it true?

Workers:
Is it true?

Hades:
What's that noise?

Hermes:
And the walls had heard what the boy was singing

Orpheus:
Is it true?

Workers:
Is it true?

Persephone:
It's the boy!

Hermes:
A million tonnes of stone and steel
Echoed his refrain

Workers and Fates*:
Oh, keep your head keep your head low
Oh you gotta keep your head low
If you wanna keep your head
Oh you gotta keep your head low

Keep your head keep your head low
Oh you gotta keep your head low
If you wanna keep your head
Oh you gotta keep your head

Hades:
When I was a young man like you
Son, I held a woman too
Held her in my naked hands
When I was a young man

Now you know how it feels
Women are as slick as eels
Woman, quicker than the asp
And always slipping from your grasp

Take it from a man no longer young
If you want to hold a woman, son
Hang a chain around her throat
Made of many-karat gold
Shackle her from wrist to wrist
With sterling silver bracelets
Fill her pockets full of stones
Precious ones, diamonds
Bind her with a golden band
Take it from an old man

Workers:
Oh

Orpheus:
If I raise my voice

Female worker 1:
If I raise my voice

Female worker 2:
If I raise my voice

Workers:
Keep your head low

Orpheus:
If I raise my head

Female worker 1:
If I raise my head

Female worker 2:
If I raise my head

Workers:
Keep your head low

Orpheus:
Could I change his ways?

Female worker 1:
Could I change

Female worker 2:
Could I change

Female worker:
Could I change his ways?

Workers:
Oh you gotta keep your head low

Orpheus:
If I raise my voice

Workers:
Keep your head low

Orpheus:
Could I change the way it is?

Workers:
Why do we turn away while our brother is beaten?
Oh, keep your head-
Why do we build a wall and then call it freedom?
Oh, keep your head-
If we're free, tell my why
I can't look in my brother's eye
Keep your head

Persephone:
When I was a young girl like you
The Underworld was younger too
Everything was possible
When I was a young girl

Now we've been down so long
In this town of steel and stone
I forgot what feeling was
And then I heard your Orpheus

Something in the way he sings
I believe that he could bring
The mightiest of kings to tears
Even after all these years

Sister, even at my age
I believe the world can change
Sister, this is how it starts
A change of heart

Workers:
Oh

Eurydice:
If it's not too late

Female worker 1:
If it's not too late

Female worker 2:
If it's not too late

Workers:
Keep your head low

Eurydice:
If I still have time

Female worker 1:
If I still have time

Female worker 2:
If I still have time

Workers:
Keep your head low

Eurydice:
Could I change my fate?

Female worker 1:
Could I change

Female worker 2:
Could I change

Female worker:
Could I change my fate

Workers:
Oh you gotta keep your head low

Eurydice:
If it's not too late

Workers:
Keep your head low

Eurydice:
Could I change this fate of mine?

Workers:
Why do we turn away instead of standing with them?
Oh, keep your head-
Why are we digging our own graves for a living?
Oh, keep your head-
If we're free, tell me why we can't even stand upright
If we're free, tell me when we can stand with our fellow man
Keep your head

Hades:
Young man, I was young once too
Sang a song of love like you
Brotherhood, togetherness
Let me tell you how it is

Lovers leave, brothers betray
Turn like weather on a windy day
Pledge allegiance, then defect
The second that you turn your back

Now I sing a different song
One I can depend upon
A simple tune, a steady beat:
The music of machinery

You hear that heavy metal sound?
The symphony of Hadestown
And in this symphony of mine
Of power chords and power lines

Young man, you can strum your lyre
I have strung the world in wire
Young man, you can sing your ditty
I CONDUCT THE ELECTRIC CITY!

I'll tell you what, young man
Since my wife is such a fan and
Since I'm gonna count to three and
Put you out of your misery

All:
One!

Hades:
Give me one more song!
One more song before I send you

All:
Two!

Hades:
To the Great Beyond where
Nobody can hear you singing

All:
Three!

Hades:
Sing a song for me
Make me laugh, make me weep
Make the king feel young again
Sing for an old man

* - The Fates sing with the workers for most of the song, but I can't figure out for the most part exactly when they drop out and back in so I'm just 'Workers'-ing the rest.

- The overlap at the end of the 'echo' sections with the 'Could I change' echos is almost impossible to make out and is my best guess.
