LYRICS
Use A− / A+ to adjust text sizeWe Work The Black Seam
This place has changed for goodYour economic theory said it wouldIt's hard for us to understandWe can't give up our jobs the way we shouldOur blood has stained the coalWe tunnelled inside the nation's soulWe matter more than pounds and penceYour economic theory makes no senseOne day in a nuclear ageThey may understand our rageThey build machines that they can't controlAnd bury the waste in a great big holePower was to become cheap and cleanGrimy faces were never seenBut deadly for twelve thousand years iscarbon fourteenWe work the black seam togetherThe seam lies undergroundThree million years of pressure packed it downWe walk through ancient forest landsAnd light a thousand cities with our handsYour dark satanic millsHave made redundant all our mining skillsYou can't exchange a six inch bandFor all the poison streams in CumberlandOne day in a nuclear ageThey may understand our rageThey build machines that they can't controlAnd bury the waste in a great big holePower was to become cheap and cleanGrimy faces were never seenBut deadly for twelve thousand years iscarbon fourteenWe work the black seam togetherOur concious lives run deepYou cling onto your mountain while we sleepThis way of life is part of meThere is no price so only let me beAnd should the children weepThe turning world will sing their souls to sleepWhen you have sunk without a traceThe universe will suck me into placeOne day in a nuclear ageThey may understand our rageThey build machines that they can't controlAnd bury the waste in a great big holePower was to become cheap and cleanGrimy faces were never seenBut deadly for twelve thousand years iscarbon fourteenWe work the black seam together
