lyrics

Railroad workers drilling in the heat of the day
Foreman pulls up with a mechanized better way
Rendered obsolete by the marching of time
John Henry raildriver since the age of nine
Mild mannered massive muscled wall of steel
Obstinate convictions kill much faster than fear

All it takes is a steak in the ground
Better grab another robot’s running you down
Hammer pounds away and there’s a skip in your heart
Keep on hitting harder you were doomed from the start

A baby is born and a star rose slowly in the west
laying in a manger with the cows and the sheeps and the pests
but a cough can kill as well as a knife
joseph wasn’t too upset he still had his wife
losing your first child ain’t as bad as it seems
former earthly father of the son of the king

All it takes is an untimely demise
better try again and harder this time
making love to your wife was your god given job
god got her first with his omnipotent rod

Soldiers paddling on into the dead of night
bloodthirsty warriors brace for the beginning of a fight
their leader stood brave on the nose of a boat
until he fell and sank into the icy moat
water laid siege to his throat and his lungs
Washington washed up cold in the morning sun

All it takes is a honest heart
and a willingness to do a fair bit more than your part
doesn’t matter all that much we’ll die in the end
trying cleans the filth we’re all drowning in
HEY!
