Roar - Pig Iron Blues Lyrics

I'm driving spikes into the clay
Out in the mountains of PA
Looking for iron
That mean cast iron

With a shovel in my hand
A red jackhammer from Japan
I'm talking purgatory blacktop
In a bucket from the man

I hear flames! I hear flames
Halleluj, my soul is saved
I'm digging my way out of hell
A dirty pig with iron blues

I piss down at the works
Where I ditch all of my dirt
And pray John Henry strikes me down
And drags my carcass to the sky

I should stow it all away
A Federal drug test on the way
And it's been 58 days sober wasted
Wave them all goodbye
I hear flames! I hear flames
Halleluj, my soul is saved
I'm digging my way in and out of hell
A pig with iron blues

I hear flames! I hear flames
Halleluj, my soul is saved
I'm just a shotgun-shacked up
Diesel driving pig with iron blues

And when we've reached the end
Of this cycle of endless suffering
The very trench that I just made
Will be my final resting place
They'll throw my body in
And cover it with lime
So a pox upon your head
And all the bullshit that you said
Oh lucky me, I'll finally sleep
Now that my brain is f*cking dead
