Reunion begins with a glass of mercury
Television flickers
With a another news bulletin
Flints light up the eyes of the seated family

Metal is tough, metal will sheen
Metal [bad word] when oiled and cleaned
Metal is tough, metal will sheen
Metal [bad word] in my master scheme

Oh, with a clockwork jerk pluck cogs from fob watches
For dinner on Friday
Then recoiling say "Excuse me
Must go recycle my precious machinery"

Metal is tough, metal will sheen
Metal [bad word] when oiled and cleaned
Metal is tough, metal will sheen
Metal [bad word] in my master scheme

 [bad word] our lives, there is no hope
Thought I'd drop a line, the weather here is fine
But day and night it blares [bad word] through loudspeakers

Metal is tough, metal will sheen
Metal [bad word] when oiled and cleaned
Metal is tough, metal will sheen
Metal [bad word] in my master scheme, in my master scheme

Metal is tough, metal is clean
Metal, [bad word] on metal [bad word] on [bad word] on metal
Next time I'll serve metal
