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

rate me

And its go boys go

They'll time your every breath

And every day in this place your two days near to 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 tread 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

Well I've worked among the spitters and I breathe the oily smoke

I've shovelled up the gypsum and it neigh 'on makes you choke

I've stood knee deep cyanide, got sick with a caustic burn

Been working rough, I've seen enough, to make your stomach turn

There's overtime and bonus opportunities galore

The young men like their money and they all come back for more

But soon your knocking on and you look older than you should

For every bob made on the job, you pay with flesh and blood

Well a process man am I and I'm telling you no lie

I work and breathe among the fumes that tread 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
