Midnight Oil - Blue Sky Mine Lyrics
Hey, hey-hey heyTherell be food on the table tonightHey, hey, hey heyTherell be pay in your pocket tonightMy gut is wrenched out it is crunched up and brokenA life that is led is no more than a tokenWholl strike the flint upon the stone and tell me whyIf I yell out at night theres a reply of bruised silenceThe screen is no comfort I cant speak my sentenceThey blew the lights at heavens gate and I dont know whyBut if I work all day at the blue sky mine(therell be food on the table tonight)Still I walk up and down on the blue sky mine(therell be pay in your pocket tonight)The candy store paupers lie to the share holdersTheyre crossing their fingers they pay the truth makersThe balance sheet is breaking up the skySo Im caught at the junction still waiting for medicineThe sweat of my brow keeps on feeding the engineHope the crumbs in my pocket can keep me for another nightAnd if the blue sky mining company wont come to my rescueIf the sugar refining company wont save meWhos gonna save me?But if I work all day...And some have sailed from a distant shoreAnd the company takes what the company wantsAnd nothings as precious, as a hole in the groundWhos gonna save me?I pray that sense and reason brings us inWhos gonna save me?Weve got nothing to fearIn the end the rain comes downWashes clean, the streets of a blue sky town(midnight oil)
