[00:00.000] 作曲 : Anne Feeney
[00:13.737]You've heard "Sixteen Tons" and "The Coal Tattoo”
[00:17.748]In the coalfield danger is nothing new
[00:23.590]Here's the question I'm putting to you
[00:28.639]How much for the life of a miner?
[00:33.685]lt should come as no surprise
[00:39.267]You'll hear them spout the same old lies
[00:43.779]Every time a miner dies
[00:48.825]How much for the life of a miner?
[00:55.206]Somewhere far away from here accountants will project
[00:59.979]Actuaries speculate on causes and effect
[01:05.296]No pesky regulations from the thieves that they elect
[01:10.868]And auditor confirm the yield from their benign neglect
[01:16.189]Each state has a price for a leg that's lost
[01:21.761]Lose an arm or an ear-there's a preset cost
[01:26.806]When the air goes bad and there’s no exhaust
[01:32.389]How much for the life of a miner?
[01:37.172]A slap on the wrist or even a fine
[01:41.946]Reversed on appeal on down the line
[01:47.268]"An act of God,"the courts opine.
[01:52.577]How much for the life of a miner?
[01:58.954]Politicians posture at the mine face solemnly
[02:03.467]Live reporters swarm like flies around the tragedy
[02:09.049]Preachers will proclaim the Lord behaves mysteriously
[02:14.094]And PR spokesmen orchestrate deniability
[02:19.938]And then their widows, sons anddaughters come to you and me
[02:24.988]And ask "How much for the life of a miner?
[02:34.008]How much for the life of a miner?"
