[00:01.20]Blue Sky Mine - Midnight Oil
[00:44.46]Hey, hey-hey hey
[00:46.52]
[00:47.33]Therell be food on the table tonight
[00:50.34]
[00:51.78]Hey, hey, hey hey
[00:54.59]Therell be pay in your pocket tonight
[00:57.46]
[00:57.97]My gut is wrenched out it is crunched up and broken
[01:01.40]
[01:01.96]A life that is led is no more than a token
[01:05.04]
[01:05.61]Wholl strike the flint upon the stone and tell me why
[01:10.47]
[01:12.27]If I yell out at night there's a reply of bruised silence
[01:16.42]The screen is no comfort I can't speak my sentence
[01:19.32]They blew the lights at heavens gate and I don't know why
[01:24.32]
[01:26.88]But if I work all day at the blue sky mine
[01:30.18]
[01:30.83](there'll be food on the table tonight)
[01:34.15]Still I walk up and down on the blue sky mine
[01:37.71]
[01:38.48](there'll be pay in your pocket tonight)
[01:41.18]
[01:41.98]The candy store paupers lie to the share holders
[01:44.81]
[01:45.61]They're crossing their fingers they pay the truth makers
[01:48.68]
[01:49.61]The balance sheet is breaking up the sky
[01:53.73]
[01:55.81]So I'm caught at the junction still waiting for medicine
[01:60.00]The sweat of my brow keeps on feeding the engine
[02:02.94]
[02:03.50]Hope the crumbs in my pocket can keep me for another night
[02:08.50]
[02:10.53]And if the blue sky mining company won't come to my rescue
[02:16.47]
[02:18.37]If the sugar refining company won't save me
[02:22.99]
[02:24.68]Who's gonna save me? (repeated)
[02:29.36]
[02:36.51]But if I work all day on the blue sky mine
[02:39.13]
[02:39.82](There'll be food on the table tonight)
[02:42.26]
[02:43.26]And if I walk up and down on the blue sky mine
[02:46.88](There'll be pay in your pocket tonight)
[02:49.95]
[02:50.51]And some have sailed from a distant shore
[02:53.82]
[02:54.32]And the company takes what the company wants
[02:57.45]
[02:58.26]And nothings as precious, as a hole in the ground
[03:03.83]
[03:33.74]Who's gonna save me?
[03:35.68]
[03:37.62]Who's gonna save me?
[03:39.94]
[03:41.56]I pray that sense and reason brings us in
[03:45.48]Who's gonna save me?
[03:46.29]
[03:48.57]Who's gonna save me?
[03:50.63]
[03:51.48]We've got nothing to fear
[03:53.00]
[03:56.69]In the end the rain comes down
[03:58.94]
[04:00.06]In the end the rain comes down
[04:02.50]
[04:03.82]Washes clean, the streets of a blue sky town
