lyrics

Me and the Mine
(Paroles et Musique: Joel Desmarais-Racine)

I was born in the east
Breathing a more softly breeze
And the sky it was a-sunny all day
Oh the things they were fine
Until I met the mine and since that
My life's been leading to freeze

(Chorus)
Oh please tell me mine
Can I ever be free?
Can I be a part
In the chain history?
But at the end of the day
When the work is all done
I can barely see the sun

The way we work underneath
The air is so hard to breath
And the sky is just a-rocky all day
With all the dust in your lungs
And the sands on your tongue
Make the damn work day shift
Kinda Don't worth the pay

(Chorus)
Oh please tell me mine
Can I ever be free?
Can I be a part
In the chain history?
But at the end of the day
When the work is all done
I can barely see the sun

Have your read the day news?
Me and mine got the blues
We want work but we don't want work hre
When I'll be dead lying down
Don't bury me underground
Held me high in the tree by the bay

(Chorus)
Oh please tell me mine
Can I ever be free?
Can I be a part
In the chain history?
But at the end of the day
When the work is all done
I can barely see the sun

Oh please tell me mine
Will I ever be free?
May I be apart from your chain history?
But at the end of the day
When the work is all done
I've already missed the sun

(Octobre 2008)
