Sting - We Work The Black Seam[00:00:02]
This place has changed for good[00:00:34]
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[00:01:06]
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[00:01:39]
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[00:02:00]
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[00:02:19]
The seam lies underground[00:02:26]
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[00:02:59]
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[00:03:31]
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[00:03:44]
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[00:04:03]
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[00:05:27]
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[00:06:23]
We work the black seam together[00:06:32]
We work the black seam together[00:06:40]
We work the black seam together[00:06:47]
We work the black seam together[00:06:56]
