Great Big Sea - The Chemical Worker's Song (Process Man) lyrics

And it's go boys go
They'll time your every breath
And every day you're in this place
You're two days nearer death but, you go

Well a Process Man am I and
I'm tellin' you no lie
I work and breathe among the fumes
That trail across the sky
There's thunder all around me and
There's poison in the air
There's a lousy smell that smacks of hell
And dust all in me hair

And it's go, boys, go
They'll time your every breath
And every day you're in this place
You're two days nearer death but, you go

Well, I've worked among the spinners and
I breathe the oily smoke
I've shovelled up the gypsum and it
Nigh on makes you choke
I've stood knee deep in cyanide
Got sick with a caustic burn
Been working rough
I've seen enough to make your stomach turn

And it's go, boys, go
They'll time your every breath
And every day you're in this place
You're two days nearer death but, you go

There's overtime and bonus
Opportunities galore
The young men like their money and
They all come back for more
But soon you're knocking on and you
Look older than you should
For every bob made on the job
You pay with flesh and blood

And it's go, boys, go
They'll time your every breath
And every day you're in this place
You're two days nearer death but, you go

Well a Process Man am I
And I'm telling you no lie
I work and breathe among the fumes
That trail across the sky
There's thunder all around me and
There's poison in the air
There's a lousy smell that smacks of hell
And dust all in me hair

And it's go, boys, go
They'll time your every breath
And every day you're in this place
You're two days nearer death
And it's go, boys, go
They'll time your every breath
And every day you're in this place
You're two days nearer death but, you go
