[00:00:37] Day by day

[00:00:41] Whistle while you work

[00:00:46] Our backs are breaking

[00:00:50] Up from hollow earth

[00:00:55] From end to end

[00:00:59] The noise begins

[00:01:03] In the human battle stations

[00:01:06] And the big ones

[00:01:09] Coming in

[00:01:12] Work work work work

[00:01:17] Work till holes are filled

[00:01:21] Work work work work

[00:01:26] Bags of bone and skin

[00:01:30] Lovers hold hands

[00:01:33] Tossing their heads

[00:01:35] Tangled in hair

[00:01:39] Tied to earth

[00:01:43] With skin and glue

[00:01:48] But their skin is the same as yours

[00:01:51] Coming in for the world to see

[00:01:53] They can sit at the table too

[00:01:55] The same blood as you and me

[00:02:07] Speak very softly

[00:02:11] Hold my hand

[00:02:16] Someone is sleeping

[00:02:20] In my bed

[00:02:25] Priests pass by

[00:02:29] Worms crawl in

[00:02:34] One dreams to be

[00:02:38] One dream

[00:02:40] For all

[00:02:43] His skin is the same as yours

[00:02:45] Is he not made the same as you

[00:02:47] And some have fallen down

[00:02:50] Blood spilled on the ground

[00:02:53] Work work work

[00:02:56] Till his life is done

[00:03:42] The old man

[00:03:47] Is at our door

[00:03:49] And he's knocking

[00:03:52] Knocking

[00:03:55] As his neighbors weep

[00:04:00] Each day repeats

[00:04:05] Are we nothing in your

[00:04:07] Eyes someone answer

[00:04:11] Someone answer this

[00:04:14] Rusted garden gate

[00:04:17] Can barely even stand

[00:04:23] Their work is over now

[00:04:26] And rest will be at hand

[00:04:31] Is their skin not the same as yours

[00:04:33] Can they sit at the table to drink

[00:04:36] Cool water

[00:04:40] Cool water

[00:04:44] And his lungs are filled with rain

[00:04:49] And the waters rushing in
