I'm not gonna sit and weep again

I am a man who drives the local bus
I take miners to work but the pit's all closed today
It's easy to see that you are one of us
Ain't it funny how we all seem to look the same

It's you who takes the shame

I am a young man, I ain't done very much
You men should remember how we used to fight
Just like a child, I've been seeing only dreams
I'm all mixed up, but I know what's right
