Smorgon's Steel Mill Lyrics

Working all day in Smorgon's Steel Mill

The dust in the air is as thick as your hair

Your eyes are black, your lungs are grey

Men have died there, you hear what I say

It ain't no easy life down at Smorgon's Steel Mill

It ain't no easy life

Two o'clock, it's 45 degrees

And that's when you're standing in the shade

And when you're working in the melt shop

Well your eyeballs cook, you fry your brain

The man said there's work to be done

So put your head down and get your arse into gear

But our brother Johnny he broke his leg today

And the man said, that'll teach him for not getting out of the way
