Heavy Metal Machine

if i were alive

if i were real

would you survive

what would you feel

heavy metal

heavy metal machine

heavy metal

heavy metal machine

as sentimental

as our broken dreams

let me die

for rock n' roll

let me die

to save my soul

let me die

let me die

rock n' roll

let the world forgive the past

let all the girls kiss the boys at last

let me go

let me go

rock n' roll

heavy metal

heavy metal machine

heavy metal

a heavy metal machine

we're the metal

in their metal machines

heavy metal

heavy metal machine

if i were dead

would my records sell

could you even tell

is it just as well

heavy metal

heavy metal machine

it's elemental

to all the rust it brings

heavy metal

heavy metal machine

let me die

for rock n' roll

let me die

and save my soul

let me go

let me go

rock n' roll

heavy metal

heavy metal machine

heavy metal

a heavy metal machine

we're the metal

in their droning schemes

heavy metal

heavy metal machine

will i survive

is it up to me

could you understand

that it's not yours to keep
