Metal Postcard (Mittageisen)

Lyrics

[Dedicated to John Heartfield] [Verse 1] Reunion begins With a glass of mercury Television flickers With another news bulletin Flints light up the eyes Of the seated family [Chorus] 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 masterscheme [Verse 2] With a clockwork jerk Pluck cogs from fob watches For dinner on Friday Then recoiling say excuse me "Must go recycle My precious machinery" [Chorus] 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 masterscheme [Verse 3] 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 [Chorus] 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 masterscheme In my masterscheme Metal is tough, metal is clean Metal, metal, command, metal Command, command, metal, metal Oh-oh, metal
