  [repeat verse]
  I am a man who drives a 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
  
  [repeat chorus]
  I'm getting put down
  I'm getting pushed 'round
  I'm being beaten every day
  My life's fading but things are changing
  I'm not gonna sit and weep again

  [repeat verse]
  I am a young man, I ain't done very much
  You men should remember how you used to fight
  Just like a child, I've been seeing only dreams
  I'm all mixed up but I know what's right
  
  [repeat chorus]
  I'm being put down (I'm being put down)
  I'm getting pushed 'round (I'm getting pushed 'round)
  I'm being beaten every day
  My life's fading but things are changing
  I'm not gonna sit and weep again
  I'm not gonna weep again
  
  [repeat intro and fade]
