Lyrics
Hey everybody - can't you hear me
call?
I'm standing in a the street inside a
fireball
Tomorrow's in the future - death is
in the cradle
We're all day dreaming at the
breakfast table
Down Main Street with the dust in my
lungs
The blisters on my shoulder - the end
has just begun
I'm swimming in the heat when the
rads his my tongue
The remnants of my children are
having too much fun
Inside a fireball
Inside a fireball
There's a big copper digger in the
middle of town
The birds are on his head - the rags
are hanging down
The grip on the grenade in his broken
hand
As loose as the union's on the hot
red sand
Inside a fireball
Inside a fireball
"We will not die and it is no
crime
Ya take the whole world upon ya
shoulder
For the very last time"
Well I blasted my way through the
barrier range
I ripped up the ground but nothing
has changed
Bromide, sulphide, oxide, slag
We're cleaning out the can with an
oily rag
I'll live on the dole or I'll die in
the dust
If they turn up the shift then strike
we must
The company's here but the money's
all gone
But I'm still digging, I'm still
strong!
Inside a fireball
Inside a fireball
Hey everybody, can't ya hear me call?
I'm standing in the street inside a
fireball
Tomorrow's in the future - death is
in the cradle
You're all chin waggin' around the
conference table
Inside a fireball
Inside a fireball
We, we will not die
And it is, it is no crime
You take the whole world upon your
shoulders
For the very last, for the very last
time
Ooh
