Paroles
[Verse 1]
Alarm on the table
Coffee tastes like rust
Boots on cold concrete
Clock don't care 'bout trust
Hands on iron
Back on the rope
Breath smells like metal
Tongue full of smoke
[Chorus]
It’s all steel and smoke
All day in my lungs
I bend but I don’t
I don’t come undone
Yeah
It’s steel and smoke
Grinding in my bones
I work
I sweat
Just to drag this body home
[Verse 2]
Boss man barking
From his little glass throne
Says "pick up the pace
Boy"
In a voice made of stone
Knuckles split open
Grease on my name
Heart keeps ticking
Through the fire and the flame
[Chorus]
It’s all steel and smoke
All day in my lungs
I bend but I don’t
I don’t come undone
Yeah
It’s steel and smoke
Grinding in my bones
I work
I sweat
Just to drag this body home
[Bridge]
[Band drops to half-time groove]
One more shift
One more scar (oh yeah)
One more mile
In this beat-up car
I ain’t rich
But I ain’t broke
I’m still standing
In the steel and the smoke
[Chorus]
It’s all steel and smoke
All day in my lungs
I bend but I don’t
I don’t come undone
Yeah
It’s steel and smoke
Grinding in my bones
I work
I sweat
Just to call this life my own
Alarm on the table
Coffee tastes like rust
Boots on cold concrete
Clock don't care 'bout trust
Hands on iron
Back on the rope
Breath smells like metal
Tongue full of smoke
[Chorus]
It’s all steel and smoke
All day in my lungs
I bend but I don’t
I don’t come undone
Yeah
It’s steel and smoke
Grinding in my bones
I work
I sweat
Just to drag this body home
[Verse 2]
Boss man barking
From his little glass throne
Says "pick up the pace

In a voice made of stone
Knuckles split open
Grease on my name

Through the fire and the flame
[Chorus]
It’s all steel and smoke
All day in my lungs
I bend but I don’t
I don’t come undone
Yeah
It’s steel and smoke
Grinding in my bones
I work
I sweat
Just to drag this body home

Style de musique
rock, Mid-tempo hard blues rock, crunchy overdriven rhythm guitars locked to a tight drum pocket and thick bass groove; male vocals with grit and growl. Verses stay close and conversational over a stripped riff, chorus widens with gang shouts and doubled lead. Subtle funky inflections on the guitar, short call-and-response backing vocals, and a brief breakdown to let the pocket breathe before the final hook., funky, deep, vocal, blues
