So I'm caught at the junction, still waiting for medicine
(There'll be food on the table tonight)
They're crossing their fingers, they pay the truth makers
They blew the lights at heaven's gate and I don't know why
The sweat of my brow keeps on feeding the engine
In the end the rain comes down, in the end the rain comes down
I pray that sense and reason brings us in
(Who's gonna save me? Who's gonna save me?)
And if I walk up and down on the blue sky mine
And the company takes what the company wants
Who'll strike the flint upon the stone and tell me why
If the sugar refining company won't save me, who's gonna save me?
(There'll be pay in your pocket tonight)
(There'll be food on the table tonight)
But if I work all day at the blue sky mine
Hope the crumbs in my pocket can keep me for another night
A life that is led is no more than a token
And nothing's as precious, as a hole in the ground
But if I work all day at the blue sky mine
Still I walk up and down on the blue sky mine
And if the blue sky mining company, won't come to my rescue
Who's gonna save me? Who's gonna save me?
My gut is wrenched out it is crunched up and broken
The candy store paupers lie to the share holders
If I yell out at night there's a reply of bruised silence
(There'll be pay in your pocket tonight)
Who's gonna save me? Who's gonna save me?
The screen is no comfort, I can't speak my sentence
The balance sheet is breaking up the sky
We've got nothing to fear
And some have sailed from a distant shore
