| Dedicated to john heartfield
|
| Reunion begins
|
| With a glass of mercury
|
| Whilst television flickers
|
| For (with) another news bulletin
|
| Flints light up the eyes
|
| Of the seated family
|
| Chorus:
|
| «metal is tough, metal will sheen
|
| Metal won’t rust when oiled and cleaned
|
| Metal is tough, metal will sheen
|
| Metal will rule in my masterscheme»
|
| With a clockwork jerk
|
| Pluck cogs from fob watches
|
| For dinner on friday
|
| Then recoiling say excuse me
|
| «must go recycle
|
| My precious machinery»
|
| Chorus
|
| It’s ruling our lives
|
| There is no hope
|
| Thought i’d drop a line
|
| The weather here is fine
|
| But day and night it blares
|
| Commanding through loudspeakers: —
|
| Chorus
|
| (metal is tough, metal is clean)
|
| Lyric: sioux music: mckay |
