Todd Rundgren

Heavy Metal Kids

It's like a normal times square day on 42nd street

I feel like trashing some windows and crunching some feet

I watch society crumble and I just laugh (hee hee)

They soon will see what it's like to be the other half

But I'm trying

Said I'm trying to forget

And it ain't happened yet

I musta woke up this morning with a bug up my ass

I think I'll just haul off and belt the next jerk that I pass

My old man says I'm just a stoned little punk

But he keeps himself a pistol and he's always drunk

I know

Something's gonna give

Pretty soon

I know it

Something's gonna give

I wanna live

I wanna mess thing whole world around

Go on and poison all the water, use up all the air

Blow your stupid heads off, see if I could care

Put me down but don't blame me for what you did

'cause inside everyone is a heavy metal kid

I was a sweet little kid once

Now I'm a full grown crank

And when I die I'll probably come back as a sherman tank

I know that I could make this world so peaceful and calm

If I could only get my hands on a hydrogen bomb
