Our intrepid OUT of Control reporter sent us this set of lyrics, and then sent us another email: "I can't believe it! I just got a link to this song from "Chemical Processing Weekly" a Putman publication. "Putman" is an amazing company. You probably saw and heard it already. Sorry to bother you!"
Well, it is no bother Joe. It so happens that both Mark Rosenzweig, editor of Chemical Processing, and I are fans of Great Big Sea. So here are your GBS lyrics, along with a link to the video.

The Chemical Worker's Song (Process Man) lyrics
Written by Ron Angel
CHORUS:
And it's go boys go
They'll time your every breath
And every day in this place your two days near to death
But you go...
Well a process man am I and I'm tellin' you no lie
I work and breathe among the fumes that tread across the sky
There's thunder all around me and there's poison in the air
There's a lousy smell that smacks of hell and dust all in me hair
CHORUS
Well I've worked among the spitters and I breathe the oily smoke
I've shovelled up the gypsum and it neigh 'on makes you choke
I've stood knee deep cyanide, got sick with a caustic burn
Been working rough, I've seen enough, to make your stomach turn
CHORUS
There's overtime and bonus opportunities galore
The young men like their money and they all come back for more
But soon your knocking on and you look older than you should
For every bob made on the job, you pay with flesh and blood
CHORUS
Well a process man am I and I'm telling you no lie
I work and breathe among the fumes that tread across the sky
There's thunder all around me and there's poison in the air
There's a lousy smell that smacks of hell and dust all in me hair
CHORUS x 2
