They'll Never See Their Pay 歌詞

Day by day and night by night In the heat of the midday sun In the midnight ringing frost Downpour and snow Gloomy miners Who have walked on the rails for years and years Wanting their money paid Shutting off the traffic Millions of trains have crowded around Standing still and petrified But the miners won't leave They are used to sitting Finally the government Says the miners must be paid So a mail train rushes along Cram full with stacks of cash It breaks the speed of sound Hurrying up to reach the place They seem to win Thousands of miles behind the train So it remains the final stage They're gonna win But the switchman was too drunk And forgot to switch the point The train rushes along the crowd Its hooter howl cleaving the night But they can't hear its approach While the trains howling They are banging their helmets, so... They'll never see their pay
