Blue Sky Mine

Artist：midnight oil
Songs Title：blue sky mine

Hey, hey-hey hey

Therell be food on the table tonight

Hey, hey, hey hey

Therell 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

Wholl strike the flint upon the stone and tell me why

If I yell out at night theres a reply of bruised silence

The screen is no comfort I cant speak my sentence

They blew the lights at heavens gate and I dont know why

But if I work all day at the blue sky mine

（therell be food on the table tonight）

Still I walk up and down on the blue sky mine

（therell be pay in your pocket tonight）

The candy store paupers lie to the share holders

Theyre crossing their fingers they pay the truth makers

The balance sheet is breaking up the sky

So Im 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 wont come to my rescue

If the sugar refining company wont save me

Whos gonna save me?

But if I work all day...

And some have sailed from a distant shore

And the company takes what the company wants

And nothings as precious, as a hole in the ground

Whos gonna save me?
I pray that sense and reason brings us in

Whos gonna save me?
Weve got nothing to fear
In the end the rain comes down
Washes clean, the streets of a blue sky town
