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 [F#m] you go
Well [F#]
I process [A] vanity and [F#] I'm [F#m] telling you no lie
I work and breathe among the fumes that tread across the sky
There's thunder [D] all around me and there's [F#m] poison in the air
There's a [F#] lousy smell that smacks of hell and dust [F#m] all in the air
And it's go boys go, they'll [G] time your every breath
And [E] every day you're [G] in this place, you're two days nearer death
But you go
[F#]
Well I've worked among the spinners and I breathe the oily smoke
I've [G#] shoveled up the [F#m] gypsum and I unmade you choke
I've stood knee deep in cyanide, got sick with a caustic burn
Been working a rough fight scene enough to [G] make your stomach [F#] turn
And it's go [G] 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
[C#] There's [A]
[F#m] overtime and bonus opportunities galore
The young men like their money and they all come back for more
But soon you're knocking [Bm] on a helicon [A] and then you should
For every bob laid on the job you're paid with flesh and [Gm] blood
And it's go boys go, [A] they'll time your every breath
[F#] And [G] every day you're in this place, you're two days nearer death
But you [F#] go
Well I process [G#] metamine [F#m] and I'm telling you no lie
I work [F#] and breathe among the fumes that trail across [G#m] the sky
There's thunder all around me and there's poison in the air
[F#] There's a lousy smell that smacks of hell and dust all [A#] in the [D] air
And it's [F#] go boys go, they'll time your every breath
And every day you're in this place, you're two days nearer death
