Company Sin by John Butler Trio, The

Ben got a job at the mine along the way.
He said everything was fine until that fateful day
That's when his life started to change the day
He went to help and go blow up that Mountain Range
Ben moved to town a year ago or maybe more
Straight out of High School, the whole he had in store
Wanted to travel, needed some dough
Everybody worked the mine why should he say no.
Don't ask him why, he can't explain
Why now things for him have changed
It's not his land, they're not his songs
He can't work out why he don't belong
He part the Company Sin.
Won't someone please tell the lad
Where Hambug did begin.
Now legend has it or so they say
The Bones of Ancient People, yeh that's where they lay
And their decendents hold close to heart.
Oh that mountain range Ben was helping blow apart
And as I said for Ben things weren't quite right
Now he's waking up screaming of the Young
Don't ask him why, he can't explain
Why now things for him have changed
It's not his land, they're not his songs
He can't work out why he don't belong
He part the Company Sin.
Won't someone please tell the lad
Where Hambug did begin.
Now Ben moved on job left him a while back
Now he's thanking god that his boss gave him the sack
But in the mirror yes he conforce the day
He stopped helping go blow up that Sacred Place
