l y r i c s : reunion begins
with a glass of mercury
whilst television flickers
for another new 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 the masterscheme

with a clockwork jerk
pluck cogs from fob watches
for dinner on friday
then recoiling say excuse me
must go recycle 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 the masterscheme

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 the masterscheme
