blowing smoke and chasing steel sometimes freedom we must steal for it to feel real waiting on the low hum roll slow who would pay to see how smooth it rolls breathe deep into the lungs freedom tastes just like the sun on your tongue songs are sung but wars are never won if we are one why cant we stare down the barrel of this gun and oh these walls some are bricks and some are alcohol some of them we cant even see at all some are hate, ignorance and rage either way we lock ourselves in our own fucking cage
play your role, burn more coal the whole trainload full gag and choke on stagnant smoke the burning of the ancient bones wont you let this monster roll across the prairies wide iron, steel and diesel dreams mountain, steal my breath but not my life
cold wind blows pick your car and count the bolts kill the crops dig the soul outta mountain tops happiness is a cold, cold gutter air brakes scream and engines sputter sister brother tell me where did we get lost?
