In the spring of the year of 1982,

Unemployment and poverty were far from something new.

Seven years we had watched while our young were sacrificed,

In bewilderment caught in the economic vice.

But now workingfolk from the steelworks and the mines,

Heard from B.H.P. that in these troubled times

Their jobs had to go for cost-cutting was the key

And it was ali for the good of the company.

"Well we won' cop that!" said the ones inside the mine.

" You can' cut and run and say we're to blame this time.

We won' take the sack while you your pockets line,

You've got a fight with the men of Kemira."
