Lyrics
A process man am I and I'm tellin' you no lie
I work and breathe among the fumes that trail across the sky
There's thunder all around me and a poison in the air
There's a lousy smell that smacks of hell and dust all in me hair
And it's go boys go, they'll time your every breath
And every day you're in this place you're two days nearer death
But you go
I've worked among the spinners, I've breathed in the oily smoke
I've shovelled up the gypsum and it neigh 'on makes you choke
I've stood knee deep cyanide, been sick with a caustic burn
Been working rough and seen enough, to make your stomach turn
And it's go boys go, they'll time your every breath
And every day you're in this place you're two days nearer death
But you go
There's overtime and bonus opportunities galore
The young lads like the money and they all come back for more
But soon your knocking on and you look older than you should
For every bob made on this job, you'll pay with flesh and blood
And it's go boys go, they'll time your every breath
And every day you're in this place you're two days nearer death
But you go, they'll time your every breath
And every day you're in this place you're two days nearer death
But you go
But you go
