red star singers - sunshine silver mine كلمات الأغنية

[verse 1: gary lapow]
ninety_one were dead when the countin’, it was through
good miners all, their hard workin’ there to do
sons lay next to fathers and the air was death to breathe
for what they gave their lives, let no one question these

[verse 2: gary lapow]
the company’s profit, it was safe and sound
for the want of good safety, all those miners lay in the ground
who took the punishment for what was gone and done?
it’s the miners’ wives and children who pay for the rich folks’ fun

[chorus: the red star singers & gary lapow]
sunshine silver mine, been thinkin’ ’bout goin’ back there for a long time
and this time, i’ll stay
back to kellogg, idaho where i lived up to five years ago in darkness
in a sunshine mine
whoa, in a sunshine mine

[verse 3: gary lapow]
well, the sunshine mine bought and paid for a public relations man
he called a press conference in the mine the day before he was canned
he told the press that each man had a safe mouth_oxygen piece
that he carried around his hip, so each man could live with ease
he said all a miner ever had to do was plug into the good air line
his life was no longer in danger with the plug_in points throughout the mine
well, the miners they are dead now, and the owners are still alive
and the miners face eternity, while the owners are still bidin’ their time
[chorus: the red star singers & gary lapow]
sunshine silver mine, been thinkin’ ’bout goin’ back there for a long time
and this time, i’ll stay
back to kellogg, idaho where i lived up to five years ago in darkness
in a sunshine mine
whoa, in a sunshine mine
whoa, in a sunshine mine

[verse 4: gary lapow]
the union bosses and the company, their handshake well_concealed
led the miners to oblivion, a rotten deal is now revealed
and the big city reporters came and their eyes did l_st for blood
they kept pushing the miners’ families around, just like, like the folks were mud
gouging their microphones in a miner widow’s face
askin’ how many kids is she left with? how’s she gonna keep the pace?
her sufferin’ was helping those newshounds get their pay
and they pocket more in an hour’s time than a miner ever made in a day

[chorus: the red star singers & gary lapow]
sunshine silver mine, been thinkin’ ’bout goin’ back there for a long time
to get organized
back to kellogg, idaho where i lived up to five years ago in darkness
in a sunshine mine
whoa, in a sunshine mine
whoa, in the sunshine mine
[verse 7: gary lapow & the red star singers]
well, the government mine inspector passed with a badge on his chest
i grabbed him by the arm, he said, “go on, get outta here you pest!”
you know, i got so mad till i thought my heart would burst inside my breast
and i said, “where you been all the years before these miners a_got laid to rest?”
i said, where ya been?
where ya been, man?
where ya been
you never come around before now and
where ya been, man?
where ya been?

[verse 8: gary lapow]
one of these mornings, the day shift’s gonna come
you know all the miners are gonna be there, but no mining will be done
yes, the miners, they’ll be there to carry out the prophecy
the so_called meek shall inherit the earth as we struggle to be free
