Cover art for Steelworker lyrics by Big Black

"I'm a steelworker" is a tongue-in-cheek way of saying I'll bash somebody's head in with a hammer, like in the picture on the cover of the album. "I'm a bricklayer" is about bashing somebody's head in with a brick. It's about a man on the edge who is ready to explode.
