Down in the Mine Songtext
von Gooding

You′re scanning the roads and you're scanning trees
But you′ll never know what this land means to me
You're cutting up numbers how much can you keep
But I cannot leave I'm five generations deep

The hills are all burning with gold and with green
But you poison, you pillage our hilltops and streams
Comin′ for years been you robbin′ us blind
You'll never understand why we′re down in the mine


Blastin' C4 for a heartless mad boss
I know the danger and I know the cost
Your money your power your laws and your fines
You′ll never understand why we're down in the

Sisters and brothers with faces so mean
Nobody here shaking hands with their dreams
99 cent store it breaks and it burns
You came here to change us, didn′t come here to learn

Careful you'll dirty your suit and your tie
No heat and no light you'll be runnin′ round blind
You′re shouting you're spewing your company lines
But you′ll never understand why we're down in the mine

Down in the mine
Down in the mine
Down in the mine
