Nickel Miner

(Verse 1) We're the miners of Sudbury, in the underground we roam In the "Nickel City's" depths, we make this place our home Diggin' for that nickel, where the shadows mark the scene But it ain't all shining silver, it's hard work and it's mean Every shift's a battle, 'gainst the dust we breathe in deep Risking life and limb, while the company just counts its heaps Our fathers fought before us, in these veins of ore For the rights we now defend, and the wages we ensure But the company, they're always schemin', tryna cut us to the bone Erasing all we've built, but we'll never stand alone (Chorus) We won't back down, we won't retreat For our children's future, we'll take to the street Against the odds, we'll never fall United as one, we'll stand tall (Verse 2) They throw threats and lies, but we're steady in our stride Demanding fair pay and safety, it's a battle fought with pride From cave-ins to toxic air, dangers lurk around each bend But we're Sudbury's miners, we'll endure until the end Through Sudbury's veins, we carve our way In the darkness and the light, we'll have our say (Chorus) We won't back down, we won't retreat For our children's future, we'll take to the street Against the odds, we'll never fall United as one, we'll stand tall (Bridge) From the mine to the halls of greed We fight for justice, for all in need Our ancestors' struggles, they won't be in vain We carry their torch through the pouring rain (Chorus) We won't back down, we won't retreat For our children's future, we'll take to the street Against the odds, we'll never fall United as one, we'll stand tall (Outro) Hear our voices loud and clear The miners of Sudbury, we're always here We'll keep on fighting, till the end For the rights of workers, we will defend!
