Blue Sky Mine
[00:43.91] Hey, hey-hey, hey
[00:46.84] There'll be food on the table tonight
[00:51.36] Hey, hey, hey, hey
[00:54.29] There'll be pay in your pocket tonight
[00:57.74] My gut is wrenched out it is crunched up and broken
[01:01.45] A life that is led is no more than a token
[01:05.44] Who'll strike the flint upon the stone and tell me why
[01:12.09] If I yell out at night there's a reply of bruised silence
[01:16.33] The screen is no comfort I can't speak my sentence
[01:20.05] They blew the lights at heaven's gate and I don't know why
[01:26.69] But if I work all day on the blue sky mine
[01:30.40] (There'll be food on the table tonight)
[01:34.13] Still I walk up and down on the blue sky mine
[01:37.85] (There'll be pay in your pocket tonight)
[01:41.83] The candy store paupers lie to the share holders
[01:45.28] They're crossing their fingers they pay the truth makers
[01:49.27] The balance sheet is breaking up the sky
[01:55.65] So I'm caught at the junction still waiting for medicine
[01:59.89] The sweat of my brow keeps on feeding the engine
[02:03.08] Hope the crumbs in my pocket can keep me for another night
[02:10.25] And if the blue sky mining company won't come to my rescue
[02:17.69] If the sugar refining company won't save me
[02:24.33] Who's gonna save me?
[02:28.04] Who's gonna save me?
[02:31.76] Who's gonna save me?
[02:36.01] But if I work all day on the blue sky mine
[02:39.47] (There'll be food on the table tonight)
[02:43.19] And if I walk up and down on the blue sky mine
[02:46.91] (There'll be pay in your pocket tonight)
[02:50.36] And some have sailed from a distant shore
[02:53.81] And the company takes what the company wants
[02:58.06] And nothing's as precious, as a hole in the ground
[03:33.39] Who's gonna save me?
[03:37.38] Who's gonna save me?
[03:41.36] I pray that sense and reason brings us in
[03:45.88] Who's gonna save me?
[03:48.27] Who's gonna save me?
[03:51.45] We've got nothing to fear
[03:56.50] In the end the rain comes down
[03:59.95] In the end the rain comes down
[04:03.41] Washes clean, the streets of a blue sky town
