Lyrics
If we must grind up human flesh and bones
In the industrial machine that we call modern America,
Then before God I assert
That those who consume the coal
And you and I who benefit from that
service because we live in comfort,
We owe protection to those men and we owe
the security to their families if they die.
I say it, I voice it, I proclaim it
And I care not who in heaven or hell opposes it.
That is what I believe.
That is what I believe, I believe, I believe.
And the miners believe that.
