Hey, hey-hey hey
There'll be food
on the table tonight
Hey hey hey hey
There'll be pay in
your pocket tonight
My gut is
wrenched out
It is crunched up
and broken
A life that is led is
no more than a token
Who'll strike the flint
upon the stone
and tell me why?
If I yell out at night
there's a reply of
bruised silence
The screen
is no comfort
I can't speak
my sentence
They blew the lights
at heavens gate and
I don't know why
But if I work all day
at the blue sky mine
Still I walk up and down
on the blue sky mine
The candy store
paupers lie to the
share holders
They're crossing
their fingers
They pay the
truth makers
The balance sheet is
breaking up the sky
So I'm caught
at the junction still
waiting for medicine
The sweat of my brow
keeps on feeding
the engine
Hope the crumbs in
my pocket can keep
me for another night
And if the blue sky
mining company won't
come to my rescue
If the sugar refining
company won't save me
Who's gonna save me?
Who's gonna save me?
Who's gonna save me?
But if I work all day
at the blue sky mine
Still I walk up and down
on the blue sky mine
And some have sailed
from a distant shore
And nothing's
as precious as a
hole in the ground
Who's gonna save me?
Who's gonna save me?
I pray that sense
and reason brings us in
Who's gonna save me?
We've got nothing
to fear
In the end the rain
comes down
In the end the rain
comes down
Washes clean
the streets of a
blue sky town
