Heavy Metal Machine Lyrics

by Smashing Pumpkins

If I were alive. if I were real
Would you survive. What would you feel

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e92109-smashing_pumpkins~heavy_metal_machine_lyrics.html ]
Heavy metal. Heavy metal machine
Heavy metal. Heavy metal machine
As sentimental. As our broken dreams

Let me die. For rock n' roll
Let me die. To save my soul
Let me die. Let me die
Rock n' roll

Let the world forgive the past
Let all the girls kiss the boys at last
Let me go. Let me go
Rock n' roll

Heavy metal. Heavy metal machine
Heavy metal. Heavy metal machine
We're the metal
In their metal machines
Heavy metal. Heavy metal machine

If I were dead. Would my records sell
Could you even tell. Is it just as well

Heavy metal. Heavy metal machine
It's elemental. To all the rust it brings
Heavy metal. Heavy metal machine

Let me die. for rock n' roll
Let me die. and save my soul
Let me go. Let me go
Rock n' roll

Let the world forgive the past
Let all the girls kiss the boys at last
Let me go. Let me go
Rock n' roll

Heavy metal. Heavy metal machine
Heavy metal. Heavy metal machine
We're the metal. In their droning schemes
Heavy metal. Heavy metal machine

Will I survive. Is it up to me
Could you understand
That it's not yours to keep

Heavy metal. Heavy metal machine. (x4)
