It's About Blood

[Verse 1] Look me in the eye when you're talkin' to me I wanna see in your soul when you lie Don't try and tell me that you couldn't foresee What everybody reckoned was a matter of time Goddamn right I'm emotional I ain't nothin' but a man Hell yes, this is personal Before we leave here you're gonna understand [Chorus] It's about fathers It's about sons It's about lovers Wakin' up in the middle of the night alone It's about muscle It's about bone It's about a river runnin' thicker than water And it's about blood [Verse 2] Once upon a time in America Workin' man knew where he stood Nowadays just gettin' by is a miracle Probably couldn't give it up if I could Don't wanna hear about the state of the economy Fiscal reality, profit and loss None of that matters once you're underground anyway Damn sure can't tell me nothin' 'bout cost [Chorus] It's about fathers It's about sons It's about lovers Wakin' up in the middle of the night alone It's about muscle It's about bone It's about a river runnin' thicker than water And it's about blood [Instrumental Verse] [Verse 3] Tell yourself it was an accident Isolated incident, part of the job Yeah, well tell that to the families Kids without daddies Tell it to God Is that the wind you hear howlin' through the holler? Or the ghost of a widow that cries? For every man that died for a coal company dollar A lung full of dust and a heart full of lies [Chorus] It's about fathers It's about sons It's about lovers Wakin' up in the middle of the night alone It's about muscle It's about bone It's about a river runnin' thicker than water And it's about blood [Outro] It's about Carl Acord, Jason Atkins, Christopher Bell, Gregory Steven Brock, Kenneth Alan Chapman, Robert E.
