Michigan Hammers

[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
