Oil workers


Far from the shores -
where the Nort Sea is a Chief,
is a gang that is working with oil.


They are working for money -
but sometimes just grief
is the pay that they get for their toil.


Some of them make it -
but others get lost,
in the fight for the flowing black gold.


Incredible payment -
no, regular cost
in a life where you have to be bold.


They are not heroes -
honor medal stuff,
you won`t find them in who where and when.


They are individuals -
seasoned and tough,
they are what you have to call men.
