THE PITS

FASTER, FASTER, FASTER, FASTER 
Shouted the tough task master 
I am working as fast as I can 
It's a terrible environment for a working man 

I work down the pits and dig for coal
One step better than being on the dole
The hours are long and the conditions are tough
No pension or benefits for me and all that stuff

Bringing home a pittance is harder each day 
Surely there must be another way 
I dream of riches, money and wealth 
While my wife concerns herself with my fading health
