Fool me once
I'm a fool for sure
Then you find another fool
You've never fooled before
Till all the fools are gone
And you can fool no more

Stole the lives of our mountain sons
Robbed the blacks with your lies and guns
Then the immigrants died for your sixteen tons

Chorus
	Times have changed but what have we learned?
	Miners still die and their lungs still burn
	Mountains are torn for the company store
	And the blind go marching on!

Now's the time
For us all to see
Break the chain
Set the miner free
Save our lives
Let the mountains be

(Chorus)
