[00:00.00]We Work The Black Seam - Sting
[00:35.87]This place has changed for good
[00:39.80]Your economic theory said it would
[00:51.59]It's hard for us to understand
[00:55.76]We can't give up our jobs the way we should
[01:08.46]Our blood has stained the coal
[01:11.54]We tunneled deep inside the nation's soul
[01:23.70]We matter more than pounds and pence
[01:27.78]Your economic theory makes no sense
[01:40.33]One day in a nuclear age
[01:44.20]They may understand our rage
[01:48.13]They build machines that they can't control
[01:51.94]And bury the waste in a great big hole
[01:56.01]Power was to become cheap and clean
[01:59.96]Grimy faces were never seen
[02:04.09]But deadly for twelve thousand years is carbon fourteen
[02:12.22]We work the black seam together
[02:20.14]We work the black seam together
[02:28.07]The seam lies underground
[02:31.83]Three million years of pressure packed it down
[02:43.48]We walk through ancient forest lands
[02:47.98]And light a thousand cities with our hands
[03:00.05]Your dark satanic mills
[03:03.81]Have made redundant all our mining skills
[03:15.92]You can't exchange a six inch band
[03:20.01]For all the poisoned streams in Cumberland
[03:32.42]One day in a nuclear age
[03:36.37]They may understand our rage
[03:40.19]They build machines that they can't control
[03:43.96]And bury the waste in a great big hole
[03:48.22]Power was to become cheap and clean
[03:52.30]Grimy faces were never seen
[03:56.26]But deadly for twelve thousand years is carbon fourteen
[04:04.39]We work the black seam together
[04:11.87]We work the black seam together
[04:39.88]Our conscious lives run deep
[04:43.13]You cling onto your mountain while we sleep
[04:55.71]This way of life is part of me
[04:59.97]There is no price so only let me be
[05:11.65]And should the children weep
[05:15.59]The turning world will sing their souls to sleep
[05:28.21]When you have sunk without a trace
[05:32.15]The universe will suck me into place
[05:44.60]One day in a nuclear age
[05:48.60]They may understand our rage
[05:52.48]They build machines that they can't control
[05:56.43]And bury the waste in a great big hole
[06:00.44]Power was to become cheap and clean
[06:04.51]Grimy faces were never seen
[06:08.44]But deadly for twelve thousand years is carbon fourteen
[06:16.51]We work the black seam together
[06:24.49]We work the black seam together
[06:32.60]We work the black seam together
[06:40.42]We work the black seam together
[06:48.24]We work the black seam together
[06:56.21]We work the black seam together
