 +====== Chemical Worker's Song ======
 +
 +by Ron Angel
 +
 +**Chorurs:**
 +//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.//
 +
 +A process man am I and I'm telling you no lie.
 +I've worked and breathed among the fumes that trail across the sky.
 +There's thunder all around me, and poison in the air.
 +There's a lousy smell that smacks of Hell, and dust all in my hair.
 +
 +[//chorus//]
 +
 +I've worked among the spinners, I've breathed in the oily smoke.
 +I've shoveled up the gypsum, and it nigh on makes you choke.
 +I've stood knee-deep in cyanide, gone sick with a caustic burn.
 +I've been workin' rough, I've seen enough to make your stomach churn.
 +
 +[//chorus//]
 +
 +There's overtime, there's bonus, opportunities galore
 +Oh, the young lads like their money and they all come back for more.
 +But soon you're knockin' old, and you're colder than you should.
 +For every bob made on this job you play with flesh and blood.
 +
 +[//chorus//]
