We get our nerves of steel   When the balaclavas go on   We're just not used to ourselves   If it pays then it sells our hides      I wake for every meal   But I still set a place for you   We're looking out for you son   We fear the worst but it's done      The factory has treated you well   The coals burn colder   The factory has treated you well   The coals burn colder   But in a part of the heart of the hearth   It still swells      We get our nerves of steel   When the balaclavas go on   We're just not used to ourselves   If it pays then it sells our hides      The factory has treated you well   The coals burn colder   The factory has treated you well   The coals burn colder   But in a part of the heart of the hearth   It still swells
