Parasiitin kehitysvaiheet ja kaivosmiehen sielu

Alakuva kertoo osaltaan sen, miksi euromaiden pankkipolitiikassa on jotain mätää - ja pahasti. Näin ollen myös euromaitten valtiovarainministerit [eivät ainoastaan maailman kaivostyöläiset] voivat laulaa jotakuinkin samasta syystä kuin nykyisten [ja tulevien] Piigs-maiden työläiset:

You load sixteen tons what do you get
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store

Company store tarkoittaa päivitettynä tulkintana finanssipankkiirien pörssipanoksia, joihin myös ihmisten sielut on sisällytetty ja sijoitettu mukaan, joten Pyhän Pietarin on turha seistä taivaan portilla odottamassa: raha-saatana ei päästä omiaan ennenkuin nämä ovat velkansa pankille maksaneet - toisin sanoen ei koskaan, sillä korko kasvaa joka hetki.

Coal miner kuitenkin varoittaa itsestään. Hänellä lienee ainakin ajoittain mitta täynnä sitä köyhät-kyykkyyn-kiristysmeininkiä, mikä monetaristisen talouspolitiikan [tai myös surkean taloudenhoidon kuten Kreikassa] ja vastuuttoman ahneen finanssi-spekulantismin yhteistyöstä seuraa:

If you see me coming better step aside
A lot of men didn't a lot of men died
One fist of iron the other of steel
If the right one don't get you then the left one will

Lyrics
Some people say a man is made out of mud
A poor man's made out of muscle and blood
Muscle and blood and skin and bones
A mind that's weak and a back that's strong

You load sixteen tons what do you get
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store

I was born one morning when the sun didn't shine
I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine
I loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal
And the straw boss said well a bless my soul

You load sixteen tons what do you get
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store

I was born one morning it was drizzling rain
Fighting and trouble are my middle name
I was raised in the canebreak by an old mama lion
Ain't no high tone woman make me walk the line

You load sixteen tons what do you get
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store

If you see me coming better step aside
A lot of men didn't a lot of men died
One fist of iron the other of steel
If the right one don't get you then the left one will

You load sixteen tons what do you get
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store
