Generate meaning
1
Ben got a job at the Mine along the way
2
He said everything was fine until that fateful day
3
That's when his luck started to change
4
The day he went to help and go blow up that Mountain Range
5
Ben moved to Town a year ago or maybe more
6
Straight out of Highschool, the whole he had in store
7
Wanted to travel, needed some dough
8
Everybody worked the Mines
9
Why should he say no?
10
Don't ask him why, he can't explain
11
Why now things for him have changed
12
It's not his land, they're not his songs
13
He can't work out why he don't belong
14
{Chorus}
15
He part of Company, part of Company, part of Company Sin
16
Won't someone please tell the lad when Humbug did begin?
17
Part of Company, part of Company, part of Company Sin
18
Won't someone please tell the lad when Humbug did begin?
19
Now legend has it, or so they say
20
The Bones of an Ancient People, yeah that's where they lay
21
And their Descendants hold close to heart
22
Oh, that Mountain Range Ben was helping blow apart
23
And so I said for Ben things weren't quite right
24
Now he's waking up screaming every single night
25
Hearing voices in a different tongue
26
The screaming of the Old, yeah, the screaming of the Young
27
Don't ask him why, he can't explain
28
Why now he feels in so much pain
29
It's not his land, they're not his songs
30
He can't work out why he don't belong
31
{Chorus}
32
Now Ben's moved on - job left him a while back
33
Now he's thanking God that his boss gave him the sack
34
But in the mirror, yes he can face
35
The day he stopped helping go blow up that Sacred Place
36
{Chorus}
