Hey hey hey hey, There'll be food on the table tonight
Hey hey hey hey, There'll be pay in your pocket tonight
EbMy gut is Cmwrenched out and is crunched up and broken
My Eblife that is lived is no Cmmore than a token
Who'll Absus2strike Bthe flint up on the stone and tell me why
If I Ebyell out at night, theres a Cmreply of blue silence
The Ebscreen is no comfort, I Cmcant speak my sentence
They Absus2blew Bthe lights at heavens gate and I dont know why

And if I work all day in the blue sky mine
FmG1
There'll be food on the table tonight
FmG1
Still I walk up and down on the blue sky mine
FmG1
There'll be pay in my pocket tonight
The Candy Store paupers lie to the share holders
They're crossing their fingers as they pay the truth makers
The balance sheet is breaking up the sky
So I'm caught at the junction still waiting for medicine
The sweat on my brow keeps feeding the engine
Hope the crumbs in my pocket can keep me for another night
And if the Fmblue sky mining company wont Bcome to the rescue
If the Fmsugar refining company wont Bsave me
DbAb6Whos gonna save Ebme?BCm
Whos Ebgonna Bsave Cmme?
Whos Ebgonna Bsave Cmme?
But if I work all day in the blue sky mine
There'll be food on the table tonight
but I still walk up and down on the blue sky mine
There'll be pay on your pocket tonight
and some have sailed from a distant shore
and the company takes what the company wants
and theres nothing as precious, as a hole in the ground
