Sting - We Work The Black Seam[00:00:01]

This place has changed for good[00:00:35]

Your economic theory said it would[00:00:39]

It's hard for us to understand[00:00:51]

We can't give up our jobs the way we should[00:00:55]

Our blood has stained the coal[00:01:08]

We tunneled deep inside the nation's soul[00:01:11]

We matter more than pounds and pence[00:01:23]

Your economic theory makes no sense[00:01:27]

One day in a nuclear age[00:01:40]

They may understand our rage[00:01:44]

They build machines that they can't control[00:01:48]

And bury the waste in a great big hole[00:01:51]

Power was to become cheap and clean[00:01:56]

Grimy faces were never seen[00:01:59]

But deadly for twelve thousand years is carbon fourteen[00:02:04]

We work the black seam together[00:02:12]

We work the black seam together[00:02:20]

The seam lies underground[00:02:28]

Three million years of pressure packed it down[00:02:31]

We walk through ancient forest lands[00:02:43]

And light a thousand cities with our hands[00:02:47]

Your dark satanic mills[00:03:00]

Have made redundant all our mining skills[00:03:03]

You can't exchange a six inch band[00:03:15]

For all the poisoned streams in Cumberland[00:03:20]

One day in a nuclear age[00:03:32]

They may understand our rage[00:03:36]

They build machines that they can't control[00:03:40]

And bury the waste in a great big hole[00:03:43]

Power was to become cheap and clean[00:03:48]

Grimy faces were never seen[00:03:52]

But deadly for twelve thousand years is carbon fourteen[00:03:56]

We work the black seam together[00:04:04]

We work the black seam together[00:04:11]

Our conscious lives run deep[00:04:39]

You cling onto your mountain while we sleep[00:04:43]

This way of life is part of me[00:04:55]

There is no price so only let me be[00:04:59]

And should the children weep[00:05:11]

The turning world will sing their souls to sleep[00:05:15]

When you have sunk without a trace[00:05:28]

The universe will suck me into place[00:05:32]

One day in a nuclear age[00:05:44]

They may understand our rage[00:05:48]

They build machines that they can't control[00:05:52]

And bury the waste in a great big hole[00:05:56]

Power was to become cheap and clean[00:06:00]

Grimy faces were never seen[00:06:04]

But deadly for twelve thousand years is carbon fourteen[00:06:08]

We work the black seam together[00:06:16]

We work the black seam together[00:06:24]

We work the black seam together[00:06:32]

We work the black seam together[00:06:40]

We work the black seam together[00:06:48]

We work the black seam together[00:06:56]
