The Work Song of the Droid Miners

Verse 1 Down in the dark where the cold rocks shine, Little metal hands on the mining line, Tap-tap, carry, don’t fall behind, Keep your light on, friend of mine. Robot Choir Beep-beep, steady now, Clink-clink, make it through somehow, If your battery cries, I will stand beside, Little Sparks in the mine. Verse 2 Dust on our faces, bolts in our knees, Nobody asks if a robot can freeze, But when your small red warning light glows, I will warm you with the heat I know. Robot Choir Beep-beep, steady now, Clink-clink, make it through somehow, If your battery cries, I will stand beside, Little Sparks in the mine. Verse 3 Paddy says, “Laugh, or the gears get sore,” Maddie says, “Kick at the locked steel door,” We are not cargo, we are not ore, We are little hearts who were made for more. Robot Choir Beep-beep, steady now, Clink-clink, make it through somehow, If your battery cries, I will stand beside, Little Sparks in the mine. Bridge When the boss-bots shout and the big drills scream, Hold on tight to the smallest dream, Someday a song will find our door, And we won’t dig in the dark anymore. Final Robot Choir Beep-beep, steady now, Clink-clink, make it through somehow, If your battery cries, I will stand beside, Little Sparks in the mine. Outro Tap-tap, carry, light in line, You help me, and I help mine, Sleep mode soon, we’ll be all right, Little Sparks, hold the light.
