Dedicated to John Heartfield Reunion begins With a gla** of mercury Whilst television flickers For (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" 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 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 is clean) Lyric: Sioux Music:McKay
