lyrics

Lyrics:

It's tough sometimes to be an Irons man
Walking through the bad patches, hammer in hand
Gunshot echoes are all I hear
Lower your eyes, all I see is fear

And I never claimed to be your Superman

My grandpappy, he had it simple man
Fought that goddamn steam machine, hammer in hand
In the good old days, before Big Blue was in baby blue
Before the power of God was in the hands of a few

Forget the power, forget the glamour
I wanna be your sledgehammer
Why don't you call my name?
Let me be your sledgehammer
This will be my testimony

Above our heads, looking down
They might as well be wearing crowns
Always sneering, looking in disgust
And we are afraid, surrounded by distrust
I found the fire, took to the sky
Can you imagine what it means not to fly
For those at the bottom, for those he saved
Superman's moving
He's rolling in his grave

I never claimed to be your Superman
