Lyrics:
Now God made coal for the men who sold their lives to West Van LearAnd you keep on diggin' 'til you get down there where it's darker than your darkest fearsAnd that woman in the kitchen she keeps on cookin' but she ain't had meat in yearsJust live off bread, live off hope in a pool of a million tearsNow let me tell you somethin' 'bout the gospelAnd make sure that you mark it downWhen God spoke out 'Let there be light'He put the first of us in the groundAnd well keep on diggin' 'til the comin' of the LordAnd Gabriel's trumpet sounds'Cause if you ain't minin' for the company boyThere ain't much in this townWe could've made somethin' of ourselves out there if we'd listened to the folks that knewThat coal is gonna bury youNow it's darker than a dungeonAnd it's deeper than a wellSo sometimes I imagineThat's gettin' pretty close to hellAnd in my darkest hourI cry out to the LordHe said 'Keep on minin' boy'Cause that's why you were born'Well we could've made somethin' of ourselves out there if we'd listened to the folks that knewThat coal is gonna bury you
