Reunion begins with a glass of mercury
Television flickers
With a another news bulletin

Flints light up the eyes of the seated family

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 master scheme


Oh, with a clockwork jerk pluck cogs from fob watches
For dinner on Friday

Then recoiling say "Excuse me
Must go recycle my precious machinery"


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 master scheme

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


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 master scheme, in my master scheme


Metal is tough, metal is clean
Metal, metal, come on metal
Come on, come on metal

Next time I'll serve metal
