Mining Ores

(album: Better In The Nether - 2014)

Lately, I've been, I've been mining stone
Looking for some coal to smelt these ores
But baby, I've been, I've been searching hard
Said I won't mine cobblestone
We'll be mining ores, yeah we'll be smelting ores

I see zombies everywhere I mine
I won't die with swords, I'm fine
Swinging picks in one straight line
Ores are what I need to find
Oh, but I'm getting old
Stone, the one thing I hold
I don't think the mine is sold
I'm just trying to stay bold
Holding my sword I'll fight
Using the wrong pick
I did something so wrong
Using the right pick
I wouldn't die, wouldn't die, wouldn't die
Everything that hurts me makes me lose my stuff

Lately, I've been, I've been mining stone
Looking for iron to craft better swords
But baby, I've been, I've been searching hard
Said I won't mine cobblestone
We'll be mining ores

Lately, I've been, I've been mining stone
Looking for iron to craft better swords
But baby, I've been, I've been searching hard
Said I won't mine cobblestone
We'll be, we'll be mining ores

I see lava and I feel the burn
Down this ravine, never learn
Mine is a four-letter word
I'll do that now, every turn
Oh, but I'm getting old
Stone, the one thing I hold
I don't think the mine is sold
I'm just trying to stay bold
I don't yet want to fight
Using the right pick
I wouldn't die, wouldn't die, wouldn't die
Everything that I find helps me to survive

Lately, I've been, I've been mining coal
Making armour to survive the cruel world
But baby, I've been, I've been fighting hard
Said I won't mine cobblestone
We'll be mining ores

Lately, I've been, I've been mining coal
Making armour to survive the cruel world
But baby, I've been, I've been fighting hard
Said I won't mine cobblestone
We'll be, we'll be mining ores

Take that diamond
Make it last
Into the ravine
Go and mine it fast

Take that diamond
Make it last
Into the ravine
Go and mine it fast

Take that diamond Make it last
Into the ravine
Go and mine it fast

Take that diamond
Make it last
Into the ravine
Go and mine it fast

Everything that hurts me... makes me lose my stuff

Lately, I've been, I've been mining gold
Crafting wooden bows to shoot arrows
But baby, I've been, I've been mining hard
Said I won't mine cobblestone
We'll be mining ores

Lately, I've been, I've been mining gold
Crafting wooden bows to shoot arrows
But baby, I've been, I've been mining
Said I won't mine cobblestone
We'll be, we'll be mining ores

Take that diamond
Make it last
Into the ravine
Go and mine it fast

Take that diamond
Make it last
Into the ravine
Go and mine it fast

Take that diamond
Make it last
Into the ravine
Go and mine it fast

Take that diamond
Make it last
Into the ravine
Go and mine it fast
