Michigan Hammers

Lyrics

[Verse 1] From a pious west To the wooded north Where the real freaks live In the east They're beating out a line They're kicking in a hole They're beating out a line Kicking in a hole In the sides of the brazen bull A calf of gold Champagne bath half-full Dignity or toil Syndicate or gang Rose and thorn Not all of them on pills A chant from the end of the bar Being reborn In this soil, in this ground [Chorus] The Michigan hammers Are on their way A chant from the end of the bar Not all of them on pills Break apart the surface lot [Verse 2] What's been torn down Can be rebuilt What has been rebuilt Can be destroyed [Bridge] Off the coast of Veracruz They threw them overboard Some made it to shore What a hardy mule To work without reward Carrying the load Till they drop amongst the stones They sleep beneath the waves Extraction of a life for debt Extraction of a life for debt [Outro] Michigan hammers Michigan hammers Michigan hammers Michigan hammers Beating out a line Kicking in a hole In the side Brazen bull Calf of gold Dignity or toil
