We Work The Black Seam
4
This place has changed for good
5
Your economic theory said it would
6
It's hard for us to understand
7
We can't give up our jobs the way we should
8
Our blood has stained the coal
9
We tunneled deep inside the nation's soul
10
We matter more than pounds and pence
11
Your economic theory makes no sense
12
One day in a nuclear age
13
They may understand our rage
14
They build machines that they can't control
15
And bury the waste in a great big hole
16
Power was to become cheap and clean
17
Grimy faces were never seen
18
But deadly for twelve thousand years is carbon fourteen
19
We work the black seam together
20
The seam lies underground
21
Three million years of pressure packed it down
22
We walk through ancient forest lands
23
And light a thousand cities with our hands
24
Your dark satanic mills
25
Have made redundant all our mining skills
26
You can't exchange a six inch band
27
For all the poisoned streams in Cumberland
28
One day in a nuclear age
29
They may understand our rage
30
They build machines that they can't control
31
And bury the waste in a great big hole
32
Power was to become cheap and clean
33
Grimy faces were never seen
34
But deadly for twelve thousand years is carbon fourteen
35
We work the black seam together
36
Our conscious lives run deep
37
You cling onto your mountain while we sleep
38
This way of life is part of me
39
The is no price so only let me be
40
And should the children weep
41
The turning world will sing their souls to sleep
42
When you have sunk without a trace
43
The universe will suck me into place
44
One day in a nuclear age
45
They may understand our rage
46
They build machines that they can't control
47
And bury the waste in a great big hole
48
Power was to become cheap and clean
49
Grimy faces were never seen
50
But deadly for twelve thousand years is carbon fourteen
51
We work the black seam together
