Great Big Sea - The Chemical Worker's Song Lyrics
CHORUS:And its go boys goThey'll time your every breathAnd every day you're in this place your two days nearer deathBut you go ...Well, a process man am I and I am tellin' you no lieI work and breathe among the fumes that tread across the skyThere's thunder all around me and there's poison in the airThere's a lousy smell that smacks of hell and dust all in me hairCHORUSWell, I've worked among the spitters and I breathe the oily smokeI've shovelled up the gypsum and it neigh 'on makes you chokeI've stood knee deep cyanide, got sick with a caustic burnBeen working rough, I've seen enough to make your stomach turnCHORUSThere's overtime and bonus opportunities galoreThe young men like their money and they all come back for moreBut soon your knocking on and you look older than you shouldFor every bob made on the job, you pay with flesh and bloodCHORUSWell, a process man am I and I am telling you no lieI work and breathe among the fumes that tread across the skyThere's thunder all around me and there's poison in the airThere's a lousy smell that smacks of hell and dust all in me hairCHORUS (x2)
