Black Lung Lyrics
Sign a petition under working condition
Union is in bed alligned with the call of berettas
Carry our freedom
Lookin for something
To give your family a better life for every single day
Some things keep me goin
I got no one to blame
5 o´clock is coming
Do ya feel the same
When a lonely whistle calls out your name
What a man likes to see
When they come after mine
No prettyness for the mighty black lung
Reconfirm workers
Reconfirm us
Take off the gloves and sock it to em
Some things keep me goin
I've got no one to blame
5 o´clock is comin
Do you feel the same
When a lonely whistle calls out your name
Hey i'm a leavin
Black lung feaver
Transmit receiver
Backed up to see her
I dont' like ya eiteher
Your president for the black lung feavor
Some things keep me goin
Ive got no one to blame
5 o´clock is coming
Do ya feel the same
When a lonely whistle calls out your name
I like this song a lot. In fact, it's where i got my username. This song makes me determined not to have a job.
i love the begining its so awsome
i believe that this song refers to the coal workers during the industrial revolution in the early 1900's. the workers got black lung from inhalation of the sut from the coal and the work was very hard, hence the anxiety for the work bell to ring
thats what i was thinking too
i think you've hit it right one the ball mister (toxicwetsuit) yeah its pretty rad i leard how to play the bass pretty much throughout the song i thought that was kinda kooool
yeh u hit the nail on the head toxic, ahaha as for 2dman, you're a right royal smartarse
i dont see why fuckfaces like 2dman waste their time posting on songs that mean absoloutely nothing to them, and they obviously cant even make any sort of attempt to contribute to the discussion.
The second line actually reads: "Union is in bed with the coal operators"
this has some connection (possibly) with the workers union being paid off by the organisations who are making money off the workers. So the miners were sold out by the union for money.
Also Hey young believer/unbeliever (Hey) Black lung fever (Hey) Transmit receiver (Hey) Backed up deceiver (Hey) Well I don't like it either (Hey) We're all presidents for the (Hey) Black lung fever (Hey)
"Backed up deciever" could quite easily refer to the fact that the workers were being decieved by everyone, including the unions that were supposed to protect their rights.
all speculation, my friends ;-)
i thought it was "all the men look the same, when they come out the mine". i could be wrong
I think you're correct. I think that verse is:

All the men look the same When they come out of the mine No prejudice for the mighty black lung Rank and file workers Rand and file minds So take off the gloves and sock it to 'em

you guys are all wrong its like this once upon a time like 30000 years ago tim armstrong was walking in the park and he saw a bagel on the ground
Hey, man, chill out. The kid was being funny. Where's your sense of unity?
