2581 Lyr Req: Harlan County (Spear of Destiny) (3) Lyr Req: Harlan County (Spear of Destiny) 01 Jul 13

The British rock group Spear of Destiny had a song on their 1985 album "World Service" titled "Harlan County". The song seems to be about the coal miners' strike in Harlan County, Kentucky in 1973 - commonly referred to as the "Brookside Strike" - that was the subject of Barbara Kopple's documentary film "Harlan County U.S.A.", which won the Academy Award in 1976.
   Does anyone know the lyrics to this song? It starts out:

Last night on my TV
I saw the men of Harlan County
