lyrics

7 Days on 7 Days off 7 days on I think I‘ve had enough

Cutting down a mountain going underground
2000 leagues beneath the seas
Iron ore copper and gold the company store has got my soul
Nothing lost and nothing gained nothing to lose just sweat and pain
Two miles down I’m going underground
I’m down in the dark it’s a walk in the park

I’m climbing up the stairs I’m coming up for air
Got money in the bank, gas in the tank
I’m going downtown gonna see that girl oh yeah

Man and machine drilling on the scene
Two miles down ten miles high
A handful of dirt a pocket of sand
7 days on I think I’ve had enough

7 Days on 7 Days off 7 days on I think I‘ve had enough

I’m climbing up the stairs I’m coming up for air
Got money in the bank, gas in the tank
I’m going downtown gonna see that girl oh yeah

The mining life keeps me out of strife
Like an organ grinding monkey we gotta make it funky
Acid rain and moonscapes women and wine and space cakes
A handle full of dirt a pocket of sand
7 days on I think I’ve had enough

7 Days on 7 Days off 7 days on I think I‘ve had enough

I’m climbing up the stairs I’m coming up for air
Got money in the bank, gas in the tank
I’m going downtown gonna see that girl oh yeah

7 Days on 7 days off 7 days on I think I’ve had enough
What goes up the mountain has gotta come down
In the belly of the beast can you hear that sound?

Iron ore copper and gold the company store has got my soul
7 days on 7 days off 7 days on I think I’ve had enough
