Second Part Repeat 2 times
Bb   Dm   G

[Verse]
D# Dm
Day by day
D# Dm
Whistle while you work
D# Dm
Our backs are breaking
D# Dm
Up from hollow earth
D# Dm
From end to end
D# Dm
The noise begins
D# Dm
In the human battle stations
D# Dm
And the big one's coming in

[Second Verse]
Dm Gm Dm
Work, work, work, work
Dm Gm Dm
Work 'til holes are filled
Dm Gm Dm
Work, work, work, work
Dm Gm Dm
Bags of bone and skin

[Pre-Chorus]
Em7
Lovers hold hands
Em7
Tossing their heads
Em7
Tangled in hair
Em7
Tied to earth
Em7
With skin and glue

[Chorus]
G D# D
But their skin is the same as yours
G D# D
Coming in for the world to see
G D# D
They can sit at the table, too
G D# D
The same blood as you and me

[Instrumental Brake]
Gm

[Bridge]
Dm D#
Speak very softly
Dm D#
Hold my hand
Dm D#
Someone is sleeping
Dm D#
In my bed
Dm D#
Priests pass by
Dm D#
Worms crawl in
Dm D#
One dreams to be
Dm D#
One dream for all

[Chorus]
G D# D
His skin is the same as yours
G D# D
Is he not made the same as you?
G D# D
And some have fallen down
G D# D
And blood spilled on the ground
Dm Gm Dm
Work, work, work
Dm Gm Dm
'Til his life is done

[Instrumental Brake]
Em7   D#   Dm   D#   Dm

[Bridge]
D# Gm
The old man
D# Gm
Is at our door
D#
And he's knocking
Gm
Knocking

[Third Verse]
D# Dm
As his neighbors weep
D# Dm
Each day repeats
D# Dm
Are we nothing in your eyes?
D# Gm
Someone answer, someone answer

[Fourth Verse]
D# Gm
This rusted garden gate
D# Gm
Can barely even stand
D# Gm
Their work is over now
D# Gm
And rest will be at hand

[Chorus]
G D# D
Is their skin not the same as yours?
G D# D D# Gm
Can they sit at the table to drink cool water?
D# Gm
Cool water
D# Gm
And his lungs are filled with rain
D# Gm
And the water's rushing in

[Outro]
