great australian bank - coal lyrics

born in this vale
little to say, less to do
but we move the shale
we move it all for you
yeah, the company says we do

hard hat. hi_vis
fits like a suit of armour
we turn the pit
until the day gets darker
leaving crossed my mind
may as well have thought about suicide

what happened back in wittenoom
with the site shut down and the town cut loose?
the top brass were always slow to catch on
hands_off until it all goes wrong
until the books don’t balance
after the boys start dropping dead

this place was bare
’til the company staked their claim
now i raise my son here
he’s got his mother’s eyes and my frame
i’ll pass the torch down to him
with the keys to the loader
with happened back at the mt. lyell mine
with the sulphides spread in a waterslide?
‘just another one_off’, the white_collars say
at least everyone was stood down with pay
sure got ’em down there
could it happen to us here?

coal
honest work makes a man
coal
honest work meets demand
coal
coal helps me and coal’s gonna help you too

what happens here when the job is done?
when the pit turns void and the work dries up?
we all know, the shareholders will be fine
to drive away with their pockets all lined
surely we’ll soon follow suit
what else will we do?
