[00:00.010]You’ve never been as good as your heroes
[00:08.720]You’re just a miner’s son, just one of those
[00:16.950]Those people in distress
[00:21.110]You tried to do your best
[00:33.600]You had a son, you never saw him play,
[00:41.830]A nice boy who grown up and moved away
[00:49.870]No sand castles at sea
[00:54.280]Stuck in the factory
[01:06.810]You came back to work in the end
[01:12.810]But everything had changed
[01:16.740]There was no claim, no union,
[01:21.670]The fever had gone
[01:25.170]You just walked all day
[01:29.300]In no kind of way
[01:33.400]Then just fall away
[01:44.060]You remember the trade-off you declined
[01:52.120]Everything is well printed in your mind
[02:00.390]A Life with union demands
[02:04.630]With no sand in the hands
[02:17.240]Now you’re retired, the job is never done
[02:25.600]The picket line will always be your home
[02:33.510]This is where you will die,
[02:37.720]A fight as a goodbye
[02:50.180]You came back to work in the end
[02:56.360]But everything had changed
[03:00.250]There was no claim, no union,
[03:05.180]The fever was gone
[03:08.680]You just walked all day
[03:12.840]In no kind of way
[03:17.020]Then just fall away
[03:24.570]

You’ve never been as good as your heroes
You’re just a miner’s son, just one of those
Those people in distress
You tried to do your best
You had a son, you never saw him play,
A nice boy who grown up and moved away
No sand castles at sea
Stuck in the factory
You came back to work in the end
But everything had changed
There was no claim, no union,
The fever had gone
You just walked all day
In no kind of way
Then just fall away
You remember the trade-off you declined
Everything is well printed in your mind
A Life with union demands
With no sand in the hands
Now you’re retired, the job is never done
The picket line will always be your home
This is where you will die,
A fight as a goodbye
You came back to work in the end
But everything had changed
There was no claim, no union,
The fever was gone
You just walked all day
In no kind of way
Then just fall away
