lyrics

After I started working the mine
My life has been on a decline
I wish I had the strength to desert
But my lungs are filled with dirt

Just when I thought it couldn't get worse
They give me a new boss with a curse
He’s the lowest of all management
you would swear from hell he was sent

One day he pushed me too hard
He had no time to put up his guard
I raised my pickax up real high
And plummeted it down into is eye

I was filled with the new feeling
It was something my life was missing
I pushed him into a dark hole
And for the last time I shoveled coal

One day he pushed me to hard
He had no time to put up his guard
I raised my pickax up real high
And plummeted it down into is eye
