Letra de We Work The Black Seam
This place has changed for good Your economic theory said it wouldIt's hard for us to understand We can't give up our jobs the way we shouldOur blood has stained the coal We tunneled deep inside the nations soulWe matter more than pounds and pence Your economic theory makes no senseOne day in a nuclear age They may understand our rage They build machines that they can't control And bury the waste in a great big holePower was to become cheap and clean Grimey faces were never seen Deadly for 12,000 years Is carbon 14We work the black seam together We work the black seam togetherThe seam lies underground Three million years of pressure packed it downWe walk through ancient forest lands And light a thousand cities with our handsYour dark satanic mills Have made redundant all our mining skillsYou can't exchange a six-inch band For all the poisoned streams in cumberlandOne day in a nuclear age They may understand our rage They build machines that they can't control And bury the waste in a great big holePower was to become cheap and clean Grimey faces were never seen Deadly for 12,000 years Is carbon 14We work the black seam together We work the black seam togetherAnd should the children weep The turning world will sing their souls to sleepWhen you have sunk without a trace The universe will suck me into placeOne day in a nuclear age They may understand our rage They build machines that they can't control And bury the waste in a great big holePower was to become cheap and clean Grimey faces were never seen Deadly for 12,000 years Is carbon 14We work the black seam together We work the black seam together We work the black seam together We work the black seam together
