  1. We Work The Black Seam

    by #Sting

    "This place has changed for good
    Your economic theory said it would

    "It's hard for us to understand
    We can't 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 can't control
    And bury the waste in a great big hole

    "Power was to become cheap and clean
    Grimey faces were never seen
    Deadly for 12,000 years
    Is #Carbon14

    "We work the black seam together
    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 can't 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 can't control
    And bury the waste in a great big hole

    "Power was to become cheap and clean
    Grimey faces were never seen
    Deadly for 12,000 years
    Is carbon 14

    "We work the black seam together
    We work the black seam together

    "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 can't control
    And bury the waste in a great big hole

    "Power was to become cheap and clean
    Grimey faces were never seen
    Deadly for 12,000 years
    Is carbon 14

    We work the black seam together
    We work the black seam together
    We work the black seam together
    We work the black seam together"
