Coal Miner

 

Verse 1

Its dark when I go to work

Its dark when I go home

My day is spent in darkness

No other life do I know

 

Verse 2

Everyday spent in coal dust

I breathe it in my lungs

Its not the life I choose

But my family has just begun

 

Verse 3

I know coal is dying

Its bad for the globe

Government wont help us

For me there is no hope

 

Verse 4

We know one day we will close

And the mine will shut down

We know coal is toxic

And should be left in the ground

 

Verse 5

My community will die

My family will starve

Governments shortsightedness

Means to coal we are enslaved

 

Verse 6

We could vote this mob out

But the others just as bad

All driven by greed

And the fossil fuel fast cats

 

Verse 7

Its dark when I go to work

Its dark when I go home

My day is spent in darkness

No other life do I know
