Lyrics for 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
