Lyrics for Black Lung

Sign a petition under working condition Union is in bed with the coal operators Carry our freedom looking for something To get your family better life for every single day Some things keep me going Well I got no one to blame Five o'clock is coming Do you feel the same When a lonely whistle Calls out your name What a man likes to see When they come after mine No prettiness for the mighty black lung Rank and file workers, rank and file minds Take off the gloves and sock it to 'em Some things keep me going Well I got no one to blame Five o'clock is comin' Do you feel the same When a lonely whistle Calls out your name Hey unbeliever Black lung fever Transmit receiver Stand up deceiver Well I don't like it either We're all presidents for the Black lung fever Some things keep me going Well I got no one to blame Five o'clock is coming Do you feel the same When a lonely whistle Calls out your name
