Three Miles Down 歌詞

Here come the mine cars it'sd**n near dawn

Another shift of men some of my friends comin' on

Hard to imagine workin' in the mines

Coal dust in your lungs on your skin and on your mind

I've listened to the speeches

But it occours to me politicians just don't understand

The thoughts of isolation ain't no sunshine underground

It's like workin' in a graveyard three miles down

D**n near a legend as old as the mines

Things that happen in the pits just don't change with the times

Work 'till you're exhausted in too little spacwe

A history of desastrous fears etched on your face

Somebody signs a paper ev'ry body thinks it's fine

But Taft and Hartley ain't done one day in the mines

You start to stiffen You heard a crackin' sound

 

It's like workin' in a graveyard three miles down
