Chorus:
2
And it's go boys go
3
They'll time your every breath
4
And every day you're in this place your two days nearer death
5
But you go...
6
Well, a process man am I and I am tellin' you no lie
7
I work and breathe among the fumes that tread across the sky
8
There's thunder all around me and there's poison in the air
9
There's a lousy smell that smacks of hell and dust all in me hair
10
Chorus
11
Well, I've worked among the spitters and I breathe the oily smoke
12
I've shovelled up the gypsum and it neigh 'on makes you choke
13
I've stood knee deep cyanide, got sick with a caustic burn
14
Been working rough, I've seen enough to make your stomach turn
15
Chorus
16
There's overtime and bonus opportunities galore
17
The young men like their money and they all come back for more
18
But soon your knocking on and you look older than you should
19
For every bob made on the job, you pay with flesh and blood
20
Chorus
21
Well, a process man am I and I am telling you no lie
22
I work and breathe among the fumes that tread across the sky
23
There's thunder all around me and there's poison in the air
24
There's a lousy smell that smacks of hell and dust all in me hair
25
Chorus (x2)
