If I were alive, if I were real
Would you survive
What would you feel?
Heavy metal, heavy metal machine
Heavy metal, heavy metal machine
As sentimental as our broken dreams

Let me die for rock n' roll
Let me die to save my soul
Let me die, let me die rock n' roll
Let the world forgive the past
Let all the girls kiss the boys at last
Let me go, let me go rock n' roll

Heavy metal, heavy metal machine
Heavy metal, heavy metal machine
We're the metal, in their metal machines
Heavy metal, heavy metal machine

If I were dead, would my records sell?
Could you even tell
Is it just as well?
Heavy metal, heavy metal machine
It's elemental, to all the rust it brings
Heavy metal, heavy metal machine

Let me die for rock n' roll
Let me die and save my soul
Let me go, let me go rock n' roll
Let the world forgive the past
Let all the girls kiss the boys at last
Let me go, let me go rock n' roll

Heavy metal, heavy metal machine
Heavy metal, heavy metal machine
We're the metal in their droning schemes
Heavy metal, heavy metal machine

Will I survive? Is it up to me?
Could you understand
That it's not yours to keep?
Heavy metal, heavy metal machine
Heavy metal, heavy metal machine
Heavy metal, heavy metal machine
Heavy metal, heavy metal machine
