Tekst piosenki
[Intro] An Exxon oil tanker (CSR Company faced tough questioning at the company's annual) From Geelong (payouts to workers affected by asbestos) Hey, hey, hey, hey (There'll be food on the table tonight) Hey, hey, hey (There'll be pay in your pocket tonight) [Verse 1] My gut is wrenched out, it is crunched up and broken My life that is lived 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 blue silence The screen is no comfort, I can't speak my sentence They blew the lights at heaven's gate and I don't know why [Chorus 1] But if I work all day on the blue sky mine (There'll be food on the table tonight) Still I walk up and down on the blue sky mine (There'll be pay in your pocket tonight) [Verse 2] The candy store paupers lie to the shareholders 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 [Chorus 2] 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? [Chorus 1] But if I work all day on the blue sky mine (There'll be food on the table tonight) And if walk up and down on the blue sky mine (There'll be pay in your pocket tonight) [Bridge] And some have sailed from a distant shore (And the company takes what the company wants) And nothing's as precious as a hole in the ground [Verse 3] Who's gonna save me? Who's gonna save me? I pray that sense and reason brings us in Who's gonna save me? Who's gonna save me? We got nothing to fear In the end the rain comes down In the end the rain comes down Washes clean the streets of the blue sky town
