about

For the often forgotten working class and laborers.

lyrics

These hands were stackers of stone
builders of brick walls and homes
they crafted arches like statues of gold
and turned giant boulders into roads

i mastered the bow twist and crown
and i brought my swift hammer down
like old john henry it will be the death of me
Ill be workin till they lay me in the ground

I wrapped the tops of steeples and halls
and ive seen to many good men fall
when the roof reflects the sun it reflects my heart
proof of how i have gone

yeah and i gauruntee there aint no tougher man than me
no one braver than the welders of steel
cause we know the jolt of electricity
yeah and we know how the saw blade fills
yeah and i gauruntee there aint no tougher man than me
no one braver than the welders of steel
cause we know the jolt of electricity
yeah and we know how the saw blade fills
