Hey hey hey hey, There'll be food on the table tonight
Hey hey hey hey, There'll be pay in your pocket tonight
DMy gut is Hmwrenched out and is crunched up and broken
My Dlife that is lived is no Hmmore than a token
Who'll Gsus2strike Athe flint up on the stone and tell me why
If I Dyell out at night, theres a Hmreply of blue silence
The Dscreen is no comfort, I Hmcant speak my sentence
They Gsus2blew Athe lights at heavens gate and I dont know why
EmG1
And if I work all day in the blue sky mine
EmG1
There'll be food on the table tonight
EmG1
Still I walk up and down on the blue sky mine
EmG1
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 Emblue sky mining company wont Acome to the rescue
If the Emsugar refining company wont Asave me
CG6Whos gonna save Dme?AHm
Whos Dgonna Asave Hmme?
Whos Dgonna Asave Hmme?
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
