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 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

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

Heavy metal machine

We're the metal in their droning scheme

Heavy metal

Heavy metal machine

Will I survive

Is it up to me

Could you understand

That it's not yours to keep

Heavy metal

Heavy metal machine

Heavy metal

Heavy metal machine

Heavy metal

Heavy metal machine

Heavy metal
