There´ll be food on the table tonight
There´ll be pay in your pocket tonight

My gut is wrenched out it is crunched up and broken
My life that is lived 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 blue silence
The screen is no comfort I can´t speak my sentence
They blew the lights and heaven´s gate
and I don´t know why

{Refrain:}
But if I work all day on 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 shareholders
They´re crossing their fingers
they pay the truth makers
The balance sheet is breaking up the sky

So I´m caught in 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?

{au Refrain}

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?
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
Washes clean the streets of a blue sky town
