Clawjob - Throw Your Shackles Down lyrics

My father worked in the mine all of his life Yesterday my father died in the mine My mother worked in the mine all of her life Yesterday my mother died in the mine We hatched here We slaved here We'll fight here For the rights of those with the wings and the shackles If you mess with the bird you're gonna get the talons The groundies live on the fuel we find down in the mines We drink dirty water, they sip fancy wine They power their cars while we break our spines down in the grime They heat their homes with the blood of our family lines We hatched here We slaved here We'll fight here For the rights of those with the wings and the shackles If you mess with the bird you're gonna get the talons The Keelers watch over the mine all of the time But they'll never see the wrench coming from behind So for all birdmen, it's time to rise and fight for our lives It's time to break off our chains and fly We hatched here We slaved here We'll fight here For the rights of those with the wings and the shackles If you mess with the bird you're gonna get the talons For the rights of those with the wings and the shackles If you mess with the bird you're gonna get the talons For the rights of those with the wings and the shackles If you mess with the bird you're gonna get the talons
