(Verse 1) Ain't no diamonds in this hold, Ain't no treasure made of gold, Just another belt to chew, Same old rock I've always knew. The null boys laugh and call it trash, Say real miners chase the cash, But every ship they've ever flew, Started in this dusty hue. (Pre-Chorus) You can keep your rare ores, Your danger and your fame, I'll take steady profit, And punch another claim. (Chorus) Got those Veldspar Blues, Lasers burning through, Not the richest rock in space, But it always pulls me through. Yeah the Veldspar Blues, Old reliable truth, When the wallet's running thin, I know exactly what to do. Mine that Veld... Mine that Veld... Mine that Veldspar Blues. (Verse 2) High-sec morning, coffee strong, Cycle timers rolling on, Cargo filling nice and slow, Like a river made of stone. Neighbors chasing bigger dreams, Wormholes, moons, and pirate schemes, I'm just sitting in my Mack, Watching ISK pile up in stacks. (Pre-Chorus) No drama on the scanner, No panic in local chat, Just me and twenty asteroids, Now there ain't nothing wrong with that. (Chorus) Got those Veldspar Blues, Lasers burning through, Not the richest rock in space, But it always pulls me through. Yeah the Veldspar Blues, Old reliable truth, When the wallet's running thin, I know exactly what to do. Mine that Veld... Mine that Veld... Mine that Veldspar Blues. (Bridge) Veldspar One... Veldspar Two... Compressed and ready when we're through... Build the frigates... Build the guns... Build the fleets for everyone... Every war and every fight, Every jump into the night, Started with some miner dude, Rocking these Veldspar Blues. (Final Chorus) Got those Veldspar Blues, And I ain't got nothing to prove, Some folks chase the galaxy, I'm happy with this view. Yeah the Veldspar Blues, Working-class and true, Every empire in New Eden, Built on what we do. Mine that Veld... Mine that Veld... Mine that Veldspar Blues... (Outro) One more cycle... Hold is full... Station's only one jump through... (Mining lasers fade into the sound of a Mackinaw warp drive spooling up.)
