And the holes you leave all look the same
I'm a Multinational Miner you know
We dig holes move
mountains of dirt
When we arrive there's
nothing but earth
Now the work is hard
and we're not kidding
Very long days and
heavy digging
We dig it up and take
it away
Leave small mountains
on the way
And very large holes
we leave behind
Never mind one day
they'll be mined
So in our wake we
leave a lot
When miners leave
they mark the spot
This is truly what
miners do
It's not so nasty,
we're being kind too
You wouldn't like us
to leave the good stuff behind
Now we're just a miners never you mind
These big holes we
leave in the ground
They might be useful,
to someone I'm sure
We never do wrong, its within the law
No we are great
patriots, you just ask why
The reason is obvious and we wouldn't lie
Every country we mine
in, always wants us
We treat them all
differently, oh yes, we must
Yes we are great
patriots, now you know why
We belong to no
country, we don't have to be sly
They bend over
backwards to ask us aboard
Welcomed because it
makes there economies grow
All the rumours that
abound , they're just unsound
You really should
learn to love us while we're around
We care for
you, and your tax breaks, as for profit and losses
They happen we don't cry, losses make money it's not pie in the sky.
Done deliberately you say, we don't have to be sly!
Its your government you should be asking why?
