If I yell out at night there's a reply of blue silence

The balance sheet is breaking up the sky

BdimBdim     C majorC          A minorAm
So I'm caught at junction still waiting for medicine

   C majorC              A minorAm
The sweat of my brow keeps on feeding the engine

Hope the crumbs in my pcket can keep me for another night

And some have sailed from a distant shore

G+G    DmDm        A minorAm     FF   C majorC
And the company takes what the company wants

  DmDm     FF    DmDm   G+G      DmDm    A minorAm  FF  G+G
And nothing as precious as the hole in the ground
