Intro
Verse
Hey hey hey hey There'll be food on the table tonight
Hey hey hey hey There'll be pay in your pocket tonight
My gut is wrenched out it is crunched up and broken
My life that is lived is no more than token
Who'll strike the flint up on the stone and tell me why
If I yell out at night there's a reply of blue silence
The Screen is no comfort I can't speak my sentence
They blew the lights at heaven's gate and I don't know why
Chorus
But if I work all day on the blue sky mine
There'll be food on the table to night
Still I walk up and down on the blue sky mine
There'lll be pay in your pocket tonight
Verse
The candy store pauupers lie to share holders
They're crossing their fingers they pay the truth makers
The balance sheet is breaking up the sky
So I'm caught at junction still waiting for medicine
The sweat of my brow keeps on feeding the engine
Hope the crumbs in my pcket can keep me for another night
Bridge
And if the blue sky mining company won't come to my rescue
If the sugar refinning company won't save me
Who's gonna save me
Who's gonna save me
Who's gonna save me
Chorus
But if I work all day on the blue sky mine
There'll be food on the table to night
And is I walk up and down on the blue sky mine
There'll be pay in your pocket tonight
And some have sailed from a distant shore
And the company takes what the company wants
And nothing as precious as the hole in the ground
Solo
Who's gonna save me
Who's gonna save me
I pray that sense and reason
Who's gonna save me
Who's gonna save me
We go nothing to fear
In the end the rain comes down
In the end the rain comes down
Washes clean the streets of the blue sky town
