Precious Metal

When I was a little boy
Sat on my daddy’s knee
He told me tales of joy
And peace and harmony

Now I’m a full grown man
I’ve got a tale of woe
And all my dreams of love
Have disappeared and gone

What you gonna do?
What you gonna do?

You got to get out and fast
You know we’re under attack

I let go of my life oh precious metal
A flash before my eyes oh precious metal
Won’t you tell me what you’re gonna do baby?
Oh precious metal
‘Cause all I want to do is make love with you

And all the broken men
Marching one by one
And they’re walking now with downcast eyes as the snow blocks out the sun

What you gonna do?
What you gonna do?

You got to get out and fast
You know we’re under attack

I let go of my life oh precious metal
A flash before my eyes oh precious metal
Won’t you tell me what you’re gonna do baby?
Oh precious metal
‘Cause all I want to do is make love with you
