CHORUS: And it's go boys go They'll time your every breath And every day you're in this place your two days nearer death But you go ... Well, a process man am I and I am 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 am 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 (x2)
