The Chemical Worker's Song (Process Man)

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 spitters

And I breathe the oily smoke

I've shoveled 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
