Blue Murder
Blue Murder
Some say it was an accident â the day the âHeraldâ rolled and rent â
The lives of two hundred folk away.
But if you read between the lines â in the air, on the rails, down the tubes and mines â
Things like this are happening every day.
Refrain:
Cut the corners â count the cost â of safety measures â lives are lost â
(Theyâre only workersâ lives â after all).
What matters most is profits now â safety measures cost somehow â
(There are lots more workers â even if some fall).
Everyone is wondering how â a ship sets sail â doors in its bows â
Gaping open - when she puts to sea.
Some say it was an accident â but I say ânoâ and wonât relent â
It seems more like Blue Murder now to me.
Most likely now theyâll blame the crew â (that could be me â that could be you)
When really all the blame belongs elsewhere.
The profit system means more haste â in doing so flies in the face â
Of safety measures all would think were fair.
