The Chemical Worker's Song (process Man) Lyrics - Up - Great Big Sea

Written by Ron Angel 

CHORUS: 

And its go boys go 

They'll time your every breath 

And every day in this place your two days near to death 

But you go... 

Well a process man am I and I'm tellin' you no lie 

I work and breathe among the fumes that tread across the sky 

There's thunder all around me and there's poison in the air 

There's a lousy smell that smacks of hell and dust all in me hair 

CHORUS 

Well I've worked among the spitters and I breathe the oily smoke 

I've shovelled up the gypsum and it neigh 'on makes you choke 

I've stood knee deep cyanide, got sick with a caustic burn 

Been working rough, I've seen enough, to make your stomach turn 

CHORUS 

There's overtime and bonus opportunities galore 

The young men like their money and they all come back for more 

But soon your knocking on and you look older than you should 

For every bob made on the job, you pay with flesh and blood 

CHORUS 

Well a process man am I and I'm telling you no lie 

I work and breathe among the fumes that tread across the sky 

There's thunder all around me and there's poison in the air 

There's a lousy smell that smacks of hell and dust all in me hair 

CHORUS x 2
