We get our nerves of steel

When the balaclavas go on

We're just not used to ourselves

If it pays then it sells our hides



I wake for every meal

But I still set a place for you

We're looking out for you son

We fear the worst but it's done



The factory has treated you well

The coals burn colder

The factory has treated you well

The coals burn colder

But in a part of the heart of the hearth

It still swells



We get our nerves of steel

When the balaclavas go on

We're just not used to ourselves

If it pays then it sells our hides



The factory has treated you well

The coals burn colder

The factory has treated you well

The coals burn colder

But in a part of the heart of the hearth

It still swells
