Steel Strings |
Well all those nights they hit rock bottom |
The songs they sang, well, we forgot em You could hear them play with shaky hands |
Guitars strung up with rubber bands |
Singing do you want a man of steel? |
Or do you want a man thats real |
They used to play in the courts of kings |
Now theyre only made of steel when theyre |
On steel strings |
They used to be on every schoolgirls wall |
And they never dropped the beat at all |
They could make it soar, they could make it hot |
Once they got started they could never stop |
Singing, do you want a man of steel or Do you want a man thats real? |
Some of them hide when the doorbell rings |
Theyre only made of steel when theyre on steel strings |
Playing the man on steel strings |
Were you expecting maybe superman? |
The best they do is the best they can |
The managers doing time in jail (applause) |
And the pink cadillac is up for sale |
Singing do you want a man of steel |
Or do you want a man thats real |
They try their hands at a thousand things |
But theyre only made of steel |
When theyre on steel strings |
