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 and roll
let me die to save so soul
let me die, let me die rock and roll
let the world forgive the past
let all the girls kiss the boys at last
let me go, let me go rock and 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 and roll
let me die and save my soul
let me go, let me go rock and roll
let the world forgive the past
let all the girls kiss the boys at last
let me go, let me die rock and roll
heavy metal, heavy metal machine
heavy metal, heavy metal machine
we're the metal, in their droning schemes
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, heavy metal machine
