The Chemical Worker's Song (Process Man)

Chorus:



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 tread 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



Chorus



Well I've worked among the spitters and I breathe the oily smoke

I've shovelled up the gypsum and it neigh' 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



Chorus



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



Chorus



Well a Process Man am I and I'm tellin' you no lie

I work and breathe among the fumes that tread 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



Chorus (x2)
