It’s tough sometimes
To be an Irons man
Walking through bad patches
Hammer in hand.
Stray gunshots
Are all I hear.
Hang your head,
All you feel is fear.

I never claimed to be your Superman
I never claimed to be your Superman

My grandpappy,
he kept it simple, man.
He beat that goddamn steam machine
Hammer in hand
In the good old days
Before Big Blue was in baby blue,
Before the power of gods was in the hands of the few.

Forget the glamor,
Forget the power,
I want to be
Your sledgehammer.
Why don’t you call my name?
I want to be
Your sledgehammer
And this will be my testimony.

Up above us
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’s saved,
Superman’s moving,
He’s rolling in his grave.

I never claimed to be your Superman
I never claimed to be your Superman
I never claimed to be your Superman
I never claimed to be your Superman
