Sting - We Work The Black Seam Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • This place has changed for good
  • Your economic theory said it would
  • Its hard for us to understand
  • We cant give up our jobs the way we should
  • Our blood has stained the coal
  • We tunneled deep inside the nations soul
  • We matter more than pounds and pence
  • Your economic theory makes no sense
  • One day in a nuclear age
  • They may understand our rage
  • They build machines that they cant control
  • And bury the waste in a great big hole
  • Power was to become cheap and clean
  • Grimy faces were never seen
  • But deadly for twelve thousand years is carbon fourteen
  • We work the black seam together
  • The seam lies underground
  • Three million years of pressure packed it down
  • We walk through ancient forest lands
  • And light a thousand cities with our hands
  • Your dark satanic mills
  • Have made redundant all our mining skills
  • You cant exchange a six inch band
  • For all the poisoned streams in cumberland
  • One day in a nuclear age
  • They may understand our rage
  • They build machines that they cant control
  • And bury the waste in a great big hole
  • Power was to become cheap and clean
  • Grimy faces were never seen
  • But deadly for twelve thousand years is carbon fourteen
  • We work the black seam together
  • Our conscious lives run deep
  • You cling onto your mountain while we sleep
  • This way of life is part of me
  • The is no price so only let me be
  • And should the children weep
  • The turning world will sing their souls to sleep
  • When you have sunk without a trace
  • The universe will suck me into place
  • One day in a nuclear age
  • They may understand our rage
  • They build machines that they cant control
  • And bury the waste in a great big hole
  • Power was to become cheap and clean
  • Grimy faces were never seen
  • But deadly for twelve thousand years is carbon fourteen
  • We work the black seam together
