FACE ACADEMY LYRICS

Metal Boy

I bought you from a bloke
I bought you from a bloke
He said you'd do the washing up, well that's a bloody joke

The minute you got wet
You bust your neural net
It blew up half the house and I was really quite upset

I ought to take you back
I ought to take you back
And ram you up his ass so hard, he has a heart attack

But every time I try
I cannot find that guy
Why did he sell you to me? Why?

You look just like a kid
You look just like a kid
Except you're made of metal and your head's a dustbin lid

You do not even work
You rusty little jerk
Come on and do the washing up, you stupid metal berk

You used to look so flash
But you're just a waste of cash
That's why I took your top off and I fill you with my trash

I beat you every day
I beat you every day
I smack you with a hammer but you still won't do it my way

Work! Work! Come on, work now
Work! Work! Or I'll beat you up
Work! Work! Come on, you lazy bugger
Work! Work! Little metal boy

I am the puppet master
You are my slave
I pull the strings and nothing happens
They're broken, you can't dance

I want to kill you
Except you're not alive
I want to put a brain inside you
So you can feel me hurting you

I don't feel bad about it
You silly little punk
You rotten heap of junk
You metal monkey
You smelly skunk

I ought to throw you in a skip
Or on a tip
Smash you into teeny-weeny bits
Or swap you for a bag of chips

Work! Work! Come on, damn you
Work! Work! Or I'll kick your ass

I remember when we used to run around and play
Hide and seek and table tennis in the garden
Sometimes you would bleep and in response I would say bloop
Then we'd feel a little daft and crack up laughing

How I wish we could have stayed that way
But something changed in you one day
So now I beat you up

My sleep is full of nightmares
I don't know why
I dream that you and all your mates
Are chasing me around my mansion

I try to hide
But no escaping
Your special heat-seeking radar
Finding me in every nook and cranny

You metal fanny
Leave me alone
What have I ever done to you
Pick on someone new

You used to be so quiet
Now you won't shut up
Always booping and ba-beeping
Ba-da-beep-beep-ba-ba-bo

It must have been the batteries
Maybe I forgot to plug you in
I feel a little foolish now
But it's much too late

Now you won't shut up
I can't sleep at night
No, you won't shut up
I can't sleep at night

Shut up!
I can't hear myself think any more!
Shut up, you stupid idiot!
You'll wake the neighbours!
Shut your face!
