Midnight Oil
Ab, Bb, Bbm, C, Db, Eb, Ebm, Gb
Hey, hey, hey, hey, there'll be food on the table tonight
Hey, hey, hey, there'll be pay on the pocket tonight
My God, the range out is a crush and a broken
I like that this lead is no more than a token
Who's tried to think the other's done, and tell me why
If I yell at night, there's a private bro's silence
The screen is no comfort, I can't speak in my sentence
The blue daylight's the heaven's gate, and I don't know why
But if I work all day on the blue sky mine
There'll be food on the table tonight
Still I walk in the dark on the blue sky mine
There'll be pain on the pocket tonight
They can't stop the poppers like the shaggy holders
They're crossin' the fingers, they're a pain due to the makers
The balance sheet is breakin' up the sky
So I call the adjuncts, I steer away for medicine
The sweet of my brum keeps a feelin' in the engine
Hope the chrome pipe can't kick me for another night
And if a blue sky mining company won't come to my rescue
If the sugar refinery company won't save me
Who's gonna save me?
Who's gonna save me?
Who's gonna save me?
But if I work all day on the blue sky mine
There'll be food on the table tonight
If I walk in the town on the blue skyline
There'll be pain on the pocket tonight
And some have saved from a distant shore
And the company takes what the company wants
And nothing is precious
Has a hole in the ground
Who's gonna save me? Who's gonna save me?
I've prayed and sinned, squeezed and gringed Who's gonna save me? Who's gonna save me?
We've got nothing to fear
In the end the rain comes down, In the end the rain comes down,
Wash clean the streets of the blue sky child.
