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