And it's go, boys go
They'll time your every breath
And everyday you're in this place
You're two days nearer death
But you go
Well a process man am I, and I'm tellin' you no lie
Oh, I can breath among the fumes that trail across the sky
There's thunder all around me and there's poison in the air
There's a lousy smell that smacks of hell and dust all in me hair
And it's go, boys, go
They'll time your every breath
And everyday you're in this place
You're two days nearer death
But you go
Well, I've worked among the spinners and I breathe the oily smoke
I've shoveled up the gypsum and it nigh on makes you choke
I've stood knee-deep in cyanide, got sick with caustic burn
Been workin' rough, I've seen enough to make your stomach turn
And it's go, boys, go
They'll time your every breath
And everyday you're in this place
You're two days nearer death
But you go
There's overtime and bonus, opportunities galore
The young men like their money and they all come back for more
But soon you're knockin' on and you look older than you should
For every bob made on the job you'll pay with flesh and blood
And it's go, boys, go
And time your every breath
And everyday you're in this place
You're two days nearer death
But you go
Well a process man am I, and I'm tellin' you no lie
Oh, I can breath among the fumes that trail across the sky
There's thunder all around me and there's poison in the air
There's a lousy smell that smacks of hell and dust all in me hair
And it's go, boys, go
They'll time your every breath
And everyday you're in this place
You're two days nearer death
And it's go, boys, go
They'll time your every breath
And everyday you're in this place
You're two days nearer death
But you go
