Lyrics
Black Lung
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Start a petition under working condition
Union is in bed with the coal operators (call of berettas)
Scared of freedom, looking for something
To get you family better life for every single day
Some things keep me going
Well I got no one to blame
Five o'clock is comin'
Do you feel the same?
When a lonely whistle calls out your name?
All the men looks the same
When they come after mine
No prejudice for the mighty black lung
Rank and file workers, rank and file minds
Take off the gloves and sock it to 'em
Some things keep me going
Well I got no one to blame
Five o'clock is comin'
Do you feel the same?
When a lonely whistle calls out your name?
Hey unbeliever, (Hey)
Black lung fever (Hey)
Transmit receiver (Hey)
Stand up deceiver (Hey)
Well I don't like it either (Hey)
No prejudice for all the (Hey)
Black lung fever, no (Hey)
Some things keep me going
Well I got no one to blame
Five o'clock is comin'
Do you feel the same?
When a lonely whistle calls out your name?
