Devil’s Dust

• The Last Internationale
• We Will Reign

Every mornin’ head into the mines

Breathin’ in that devil’s dust

You put in all your time

Doing what you must

So the bills don’t fall behind

You didn’t need any help then

And you won’t be needin’ any now

You got a load on your back

A chain around your heart

And a pride that’s tearin’ us apart

Sometimes I wonder

Where are the dreams we dreamt up

And all the things we wanted

And the time that we lost

To pull it back together

All the nights that I waited

For you to come home

And when you’d do we’d cuss and fuss

It ain’t that I don’t love you

It’s cuz it’s too much

And I couldn’t tell you enough

But we made it through

All these years

What doesn’t kill you

Only makes you stronger

And baby I know

Nothin’s really changed

Only now we’re a little older

Pull it back together

Every day you come home

A little more tired

I hear you coughin’

All through the night

Always another year

Until you retire

When the doctors say

You’re not alright

You didn’t need any help then

Surely you’ll be needin’ plenty now

You got a load on your back

Chain around your heart

And a pride that’s tearin’ us apart

And the time that we lost

To pull it back together
