I keep rolling like a wagon wheel What keeps me going are these nerves of steel And two good hands to keep me clothed and fed A pair of feet to stagger to my bed A heart of gold and fists of iron A tongue of silver that's bought me time
Well I'm a mineral man Stuck here in the can Till I oxidise Well I'm a guest of the State I'll sit here and wait 'Cos I'm subsidised
When I'm moving like a ton of lead There's nothing stops me on the road ahead My skin is bronzed from my head to my toes People looking everywhere I go A heart of gold and fists of iron A tongue of silver for to spin some line
Well I'm a mineral man Stuck here in the can Till I oxidise Oh I'm a guest of the State I'll sit here and wait Till I'm let outside
I keep rolling like a wagon wheel What keeps me going are these nerves of steel And two good hands to keep me clothed and fed A pair of feet to stagger to my bed A heart of gold and fists of iron A tongue of silver that's bought me time

Oh I'm a mineral man Stuck here in the can Till I oxidise Oh I'm a guest of the State I'll sit here and wait Till I'm, till I'm let outside
Oh I'm a mineral man Stuck here in the can Till I oxidise Oh I'm a mineral man Stuck here in the can Till I oxidise Oh I'm a mineral man Stuck here in the can Till I oxidise
