Build a Life

from Swan Songs by Simon King

/

lyrics

We are living underground
Where our houses won’t be found
We are living in the silence sweat and pain.
We are living underground

We are working underground
Where our workshops won’t be found
We are working in the silence sweat and pain.
We are working underground

But all we want is to have our share
Build a life in the open air - all we want is an equal share

We are dying underground
Where our bodies won’t be found
We are dying in the silence sweat and pain.
We are dying underground

But all we want is to have our share
Build a life in the open air - all we want is an equal share
But all we want is to have our share
Build a life in the open air - all we want is an equal share
