Generate meaning
1
This place has changed for good*
2
Your economic theory said it would
3
It's hard for us to understand
4
We can't give up our jobs the way we should
5
Our blood has stained the coal
6
We tunneled deep inside the nation's soul
7
We matter more than pounds and pence
8
Your economic theory makes no sense
9
One day in a nuclear age
10
They may understand our rage
11
They build machines that they can't control
12
And bury the waste in a great big hole
13
Power was to become cheap and clean
14
Grimy faces were never seen
15
But deadly for twelve thousand years is carbon fourteen
16
We work the black seam together
17
The seam lies underground
18
Three million years of pressure packed it down
19
We walk through ancient forest lands
20
And light a thousand cities with our hands
21
Your dark satanic mills
22
Have made redundant all our mining skills
23
You can't exchange a six inch band
24
For all the poisoned streams in Cumberland
25
One day in a nuclear age
26
They may understand our rage
27
They build machines that they can't control
28
And bury the waste in a great big hole
29
Power was to become cheap and clean
30
Grimy faces were never seen
31
But deadly for twelve thousand years is carbon fourteen
32
We work the black seam together
33
Our conscious lives run deep
34
You cling onto your mountain while we sleep
35
This way of life is part of me
36
The is no price so only let me be
37
And should the children weep
38
The turning world will sing their souls to sleep
39
When you have sunk without a trace
40
The universe will suck me into place
41
One day in a nuclear age
42
They may understand our rage
43
They build machines that they can't control
44
And bury the waste in a great big hole
45
Power was to become cheap and clean
46
Grimy faces were never seen
47
But deadly for twelve thousand years is carbon fourteen
48
We work the black seam together
