Horses
Word came downAnd it crashed through my doorFrom the twenty-first floorI was thinkin' about leavin'Early for lunchWhen he told meTo shut off my pressHis face turned greenAnd his white shirt was wetLike he'd just seen an accidentWe threw our masks into a pileThe trucks pulled away for goodHoly Mackinaw Joe(Holy Mackinaw)Holy Mackinaw Joe(Holy Mackinaw)Holy Mackinaw Joe(Holy Mackinaw)Holy Mackinaw JoeA bus pulled inAnd I waved at itBefore I knew what it wasWe ran in its tracksChasing its tiresSongtexteBut the gates had been riveted shutI looked for the foreman;His number was emptyUp to Red Deer to stayWe gathered some signs and we sparked up a fireGordie got burned on the high-voltage wireHoly Mackinaw Joe(Holy Mackinaw)Holy Mackinaw Joe(Holy Mackinaw)Holy Mackinaw Joe(Holy Mackinaw)Holy Mackinaw JoeThe first thing she'll ask me is: "How did it go today?"And I'll tell her.I thought there was strength in a unionI thought there was strength in a mobI thought the company was bluffingWhen they threatened to chop us offAh, these guns will wiltThe winter will seizeAnd all the bonfires will go outThe company knows when they can afford to be boldI wish I could, I wish I could, I wish I couldHoly Mackinaw Joe(Holy Mackinaw)Holy Mackinaw Joe(Holy Mackinaw)Holy Mackinaw Joe(Holy Mackinaw)Holy Mackinaw Joe(Holy Mackinaw) We are the horses!
