Metal Nation

[spacel0rd]

So, I went to a record store yesterday for a listening party of a new CD. Just me and about 5 other dudes standing around listening to a CD. My wife said it was the most dorky thing ever. So...I woke up this morning and wrote an anthem/song about it all...


METAL NATION

I belong to a club of rock n roll
There are no fees there is no toll
We wear our bands spread across our chest
You’ll never catch use in a jacket and vest

We are all spread throughout the Earth
In our old blue jeans and our black t-shirts
We don’t need cleansing no sanitation
Cuz we are part of the Metal Nation

Crank some Priest and Megadeth
Crank Anthrax and crank Opeth
Pound your fists get up and sing
Somewhere someone’s doing the same thing
Have a few drinks get real stoned
Cuz in Metal Nation you’re never alone

We’re told to grow up and do it fast
We may be viewed as outcasts
But we’re not afraid we are shameless
And we judge the judgers for their lameness

We are spread throughout the Earth
Ready to rock since our very birth
So don’t come trying to save our souls
Cuz in Metal Nation it’s about rock n roll

Crank some Slayer and Megadeth
Crank the Sabbath and crank Opeth
Pound your fists get up and sing
Somewhere someone’s doing the same thing
Have a few drinks get real stoned
Cuz in Metal Nation you’re never alone

Power, prog, death, stoner or doom
Just as long as it shakes this fucking room
Turn it up loud and act like a fool
From the very new to the very old-school

We are spread throughout the Earth
Our music collection is what we’re worth
It’s all we have it’s what we save
So burry it with us in our graves

Crank Metallica when they were faster
So don’t play anything after Master
Pound your fists get up and sing
Somewhere someone’s doing the same thing
Have a few drinks get real stoned
Cuz in Metal Nation you’re never alone

Great lyrics Space! They're so true. The black band t-shirts w/ jeans always ring out & no matter where I go there is always someone who acknowledges my shirt. The Metal Nation lives! What is it with these wives? I always get called a dork for being a music geek! I told her today she should write a book of all the useless information I give her & title it "I'm Married to a Music Geek".

Yea, Bucky....word.
I'm glad if I just strike the bone of just a few dudes with my "song". I'm glad ur one.

Spacelord,

Take the lyrics, male a copy & mail them to your self. But don't open the envelope when you get it. The date on the stamp will serve as your copyright on the song until you get that done if you chose to do so.

Yea...thanks.
I've actually done that with other stuff I wrote.

Bucky!! My girl always calls me a music geek because I act like a music encyclopedia.
