Karaoké The Chemical Worker's Song (Process Man) Great Big Sea

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 spinners and I breathe the oily smoke

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

I've stood knee deep in cyanide

Got sick with a caustic burn

Been workin' 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 knockin' 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 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

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
