Bilingual
This place has changed for good
Your economic theory said it would
ย
It's hard for us to understand
We can't give up our jobs the way we should
ย
Our blood has stained the coal
We tunneled deep inside the nations soul
ย
We matter more than pounds and pence
Your economic theory makes no sense
ย
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
ย
We work the black seam together
ย
The seam lies underground
Three million years of pressure packed it down
ย
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
ย
You can't exchange a six-inch band
For all the poisoned streams in cumberland
ย
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
ย
We work the black seam together
ย
And should the children weep
The turning world will sing their souls to sleep
ย
When you have sunk without a trace
The universe will suck me into place
ย
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
ย
We work the black seam together
ย
We work the black seam together
We work the black seam together
