The Mine Lyrics

We labor every day
Toiling our lives away
But freedom we won’t find
We’re working in a mine
Dig, dig, dig, dig down deep
Digging in the ground for what others have found
Down, down, down earn your keep
The digging and blasting seems everlasting

Only a chance in a million
Only a chance in a million
Then we struck it rich
In the mine
In the mine
It’s all mine

But you shouldn’t take chances
Don’t be a victim of circumstances
Over and under
Kinda makes you wonder
How long will it last
When you’re spending it so fast

In the mine – in the mine
In the mine – in the mine

Sordid, greedy, aged, little prospector
Now, now, you’ve got it made
More, more, more always going back for more

Only a chance in a million
Only a chance in a million
In the mine…

You’ve got money to burn now
I’m sure in time you’ll learn how
What will you do
When there’s nothing left to buy
Richer and richer kinda makes a pretty picture
Year after year till the assets
Are pilled pretty high

To the sky
In the mine
In the mine
It’s all mine
