lyrics

Man of Metal

Man of metal,
He came out of the sky
Landed on his feet
In front of Johnson’s Feed.

Man of metal,
We overcame our fear
We shot him in the head
It didn’t do a thing.

He said, “All the stars are mine.
All the stars are mine.”

Walked up to a horse,
Grabbed a little hay,
Put it in her mouth,
Listened to her neigh.

“Satan!”, said Louise
“Knew that he would come
Just like we read.
Now it’s just a matter
Of them rising from the dead.
Finally, it’s end times.”

Man of metal
We never see him eat,
We never see him drink,
He doesn’t seem to sleep.

Man of metal
He comes into our homes.
He watches while we work.
He watches while we love.

He said, “All the stars are mine.
All the stars are mine.”

Hit him with a pick,
Hit him with an ax,
Do it till you sweat,
Doesn’t even crack.

“Satan!”, said Louise
“Knew that he would come
Just like we read.
Now it’s just a matter of them
Rising from the dead.
Finally, it’s end times.”

Man of metal,
He doesn’t even rust.
Standing in the rain,
Standing in the snow.

Man of metal,
People come for miles
To see him for themselves
And maybe touch him too.

He said, “All the stars are mine.
All the stars are mine.”

Politicians came.
Army came too.
Gave him all they had,
Nothing left to do.

“Satan!”, said Louise
“Knew that he would come
Just like we read.
Now it’s just a matter of them
Rising from the dead.
Finally, it’s end times.”
