With your sunspot stopwatch renegade savior stances
You say you take your chances
Or else you break your branches as you climb to that top shelf, tuna melt buckle up your
seat belt
Rickie Lee Jones
and everything you think you own
Is fool's gold and ancient fossil stones
You got more than you need but you need a lot more than some do
Look at your cigarette burn through
The things you can't undo if you try
Well that's tough luck King Tut... Daffy Duck never got old babe
They'll bury you with gold yeah
Is that enough to hold you for today.
I got to hand it to you, why do you do what you do
It's times like this I'm glad that I ain't you
You think you got the devil on retreat but he's back up on his feet and he's looking for you.
With your monkey wrench you dig a trench, don't you see the lights they're shining
Shut up and quit your whining
Four star restaurants dining in the shade
Then your mini skirt'll hit the dirt and baby you'll be crying and bleeding
you'll bite the hand that's feeding
and then you're back there pleading for your soul.
I got to hand it to you, why do you do what you do
It's times like this I'm glad I ain't you
You think you got the devil on retreat, but he's back up on his feet and he's looking for
you.In the beginning there was silence
and darkness, all across the earth.
Then came the wind, and a hole in the sky.
Thunder and lightning keep crushing down,
hit the earth and split the ground,
fire burning high in the sky.
From down below, fire melted the stone,
the ground shook, and started to pound.
The gods made heavy metal,
and they saw that it was good.
They said to play it louder than hell,
we promised that we would.
When loosers say its over with,
you know that its a lie.
The gods made heavy metal,
and its never gonna die.
We are the true believers,
its our turn to show the world,
in the fire of heavy metal,
we were burnt.
It's more than our religion,
it's the only way to live,
but the enemies of metal,
we can't forgive.
We believe in the power and the might,
and the gods who made metal, are with us tonight.
The gods made heavy metal,

When loosers say its over with,

The gods made heavy metal,

We believe in the power and the might,
and the gods who made metal, are with us tonight.
We're here tonight for heavy metal,
are you ready in the hall?
They have chosen us,
and we have heard the call.
Go and tell rumor with our sound,
crack walls and shake the ground.
Fight tonight for metal,
one and all.
