Who will put his back to the plough?
Don't look now, someone's done your starvin'
Who will take the salt from the earth?
Who will work the field with his hands?
Who'll take a leaf and grow it to a tree?
Don't look now, it ain't you or me
Who'll take the promise that you don't have to keep?
Don't look now, it ain't you or me
Don't look now, someone's done your prayin' too
Don't look now, someone's done your starvin'
Don't look now, someone's done your prayin' too
Don't look now, it ain't you or me
Who will make the clothes that you wear?
Who will make the shoes for your feet?
Who'll take the promise that you don't have to keep?
Who'll take the mountain and give it to the sea?
Who will take the coal from the mines?
