Steel and Smoke Lyrics

Blowin' smoke, blowin' smoke, Chasin' steel, chasin' steel
Sometimes freedom, sometimes freedom, we must steal for it to feel real
Waitin' on that low hum, roll slow
Who would pay to see how smooth it rolls?
Breathe deep, breathe deep, Into the lungs, into the lungs
Freedom tastes, freedom tastes, just like the sun your tongue
Songs are sung, but wars are never won
Cm (once) G (once)
If we are one why can't we stare down the barrel of this gun
(Tempo Increases)
And oh these walls, some are bricks and some are alcohol
Some of them we can't even see at all
Some are hate, ignorance and rage
Cm G (once)
Either way we've locked ourselves up in our own f**king cage
Play your roll, burn more coal, the whole train load full
Gag and choke on stagnant smoke, the burning of ancient bones
Won't you let this monster roll across the prairies wide
G# G (once)
Iron, steel, and diesel dreams, These mountains steal my breath but not my life
(Tempo Decreases)
Cold winds blow, cold winds blow, Pick your car and count the bolts
Kill the crops, Kill the crops, Dig the soul out of mountain tops
Happiness is a cold cold gutter, air brakes scream and engines sputter
Sister, brother, tell me where did we get lost?
