《We Work The Black Seam》歌词

[00:00:02] Sting - We Work The Black Seam

[00:00:34] This place has changed for good

[00:00:39] Your economic theory said it would

[00:00:51] It's hard for us to understand

[00:00:55] We can't give up our jobs the way we should

[00:01:06] Our blood has stained the coal

[00:01:11] We tunneled deep inside the nation's soul

[00:01:23] We matter more than pounds and pence

[00:01:27] Your economic theory makes no sense

[00:01:39] One day in a nuclear age

[00:01:44] They may understand our rage

[00:01:48] They build machines that they can't control

[00:01:51] And bury the waste in a great big hole

[00:01:56] Power was to become cheap and clean

[00:02:00] Grimy faces were never seen

[00:02:04] But deadly for twelve thousand years is carbon fourteen

[00:02:12] We work the black seam together

[00:02:19] We work the black seam together

[00:02:26] The seam lies underground

[00:02:31] Three million years of pressure packed it down

[00:02:43] We walk through ancient forest lands

[00:02:47] And light a thousand cities with our hands

[00:02:59] Your dark satanic mills

[00:03:03] Have made redundant all our mining skills

[00:03:15] You can't exchange a six inch band

[00:03:20] For all the poisoned streams in Cumberland

[00:03:31] One day in a nuclear age

[00:03:36] They may understand our rage

[00:03:40] They build machines that they can't control

[00:03:44] And bury the waste in a great big hole

[00:03:48] Power was to become cheap and clean

[00:03:52] Grimy faces were never seen

[00:03:56] But deadly for twelve thousand years is carbon fourteen

[00:04:03] We work the black seam together

[00:04:11] We work the black seam together

[00:04:39] Our conscious lives run deep

[00:04:43] You cling onto your mountain while we sleep

[00:04:55] This way of life is part of me

[00:04:59] There is no price so only let me be

[00:05:11] And should the children weep

[00:05:15] The turning world will sing their souls to sleep

[00:05:27] When you have sunk without a trace

[00:05:32] The universe will suck me into place

[00:05:44] One day in a nuclear age

[00:05:48] They may understand our rage

[00:05:52] They build machines that they can't control

[00:05:56] And bury the waste in a great big hole

[00:06:00] Power was to become cheap and clean

[00:06:04] Grimy faces were never seen

[00:06:08] But deadly for twelve thousand years is carbon fourteen

[00:06:16] We work the black seam together

[00:06:23] We work the black seam together

[00:06:32] We work the black seam together

[00:06:40] We work the black seam together

[00:06:47] We work the black seam together

[00:06:56] We work the black seam together
