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
Deadly for twelve thousand years is carbon fourteen
16
We work the black seam together
17
We work the black seam together
18
The seam lies underground
19
Three million years of pressure packed it down
20
We walk through ancient forest lands
21
And light a thousand cities with our hands
22
Your dark satanic mills
23
Have made redundant all our mining skills
24
You can't exchange a six inch band
25
For all the poisoned streams in Cumberland
26
Your economic theory makes no sense
27
One day in a nuclear age
28
They may understand our rage
29
They build machines that they can't control
30
And bury the waste in a great big hole
31
Power was to become cheap and clean
32
Grimy faces were never seen
33
Deadly for twelve thousand years is carbon fourteen
34
We work the black seam together
35
We work the black seam together
36
Should the children weep
37
The turning world will sing their souls to sleep
38
When you have sunk without a trace
39
The universe will suck me into place
40
One day in a nuclear age
41
They may understand our rage
42
They build machines that they can't control
43
And bury the waste in a great big hole
44
Power was to become cheap and clean
45
Grimy faces were never seen
46
But deadly for twelve thousand years is carbon fourteen
47
We work the black seam together
48
We work the black seam together
