Lyrics

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
