Lyrics
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
Across this land mine
I'm telling you no lie
I work and breathe among the fumes
That trail across the sky
There's thunder all around me
There's poison in the air
There's a lousy smell that smacks of hell
Dust all in the hair
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 the oily smoke
I've shoveled up the gypsum
'Til its nile makes you choke
I've stood knee-deep in cyanide
Got sick with the caustic burn
Been working rough, I've seen enough
To make your stomach turn
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
Let's go!
There's overtime and bonus
Opportunities galore
The young men like their money
And they'll all come back for more
But soon you're knocking on
And looking older than you should
For every bum made on the job
You pay with flesh and blood
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
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
