lyrics

I've been working on the mountain
Mine another ton of gold
We blackened up the rivers
Acid melting nature's soul
Like heroin to the vein, load the train
And down the tracks we go

I love that smooth black gold
Just like the cancer loves to grow

From the Powder River Basin
Ride the Northern Santa Fe
We dropped off at the station
Burned a million tons today
Watch the plumes fly high
Absorbing heat along the way

All you miners watch your backs
Another mine collapsed this week
Are your lungs turning black?
The future's looking rather bleak
But we need that coal
Just like we need the air we breath

All aboard the Santa Fe!
Burning a million tons of coal each day
Flying down those tracks at super speed
Bringing the public what they need!
