Blue Sky Mine(Complete version originally performed by Midnight Oil) - Various Artists (欧美群星)
Hey hey-hey hey
There'll be food on the table tonight
Hey hey hey hey
There'll be pay in your pocket tonight
My gut is wrenched out
It is crunched up and broken
A life that is led is no more than a token
Who'll strike the flint
Upon the stone and tell me why
If I yell out at night
There's a reply of bruised silence
The screen is no comfort
I can't speak my sentence
They blew the lights at heaven's gate
And I don't know why
But if I work all day at the blue sky mine
(There'll be food on the table tonight)
Still I walk up and down
On the blue sky mine
(There'll be pay in your pocket tonight)
The candy store paupers lie
To the share holders
They're crossing their fingers
They pay the truth makers
The balance sheet is breaking up the sky
So I'm caught at the junction
Still waiting for medicine
The sweat of my brow keeps on feeding the engine
Hope the crumbs in my pocket
Can keep me for another night
And if the blue sky mining company
Won't come to my rescue
If the sugar refining company won't save me
Who's gonna save me
Who's gonna save me
Who's gonna save me
But if I work all day at the blue sky mine
(There'll be food on the table tonight)
Still I walk up and down on the blue sky mine
(There'll be pay in your pocket tonight)
And some have sailed from a distant shore
And the company takes what the company wants
And nothing's as precious
As a hole in the ground
Who's gonna save me
Who's gonna save me
I pray that sense and reason brings us in
Who's gonna save me
We've got nothing to fear
In the end the rain comes down
In the end the rain comes down
Washes clean the streets of a blue sky town
