Reunion begins

With a glass of mercury

Whilst television flickers

For another news bulletin

Flints light up the eyes

Of the seated family

Metal is tough, metal will sheen

Metal won't rust when oiled and cleaned

Metal is tough, metal will sheen

Metal will rule in my master scheme

With a clockwork jerk

Pluck cogs from fob watches

For dinner on Friday

Then recoiling say excuse me

Must go recycle

My precious machinery

Metal is tough, metal will sheen

Metal won't rust when oiled and cleaned

Metal is tough, metal will sheen

Metal will rule in my master scheme

It's ruling our lives

There is no hope

Thought I'd drop a line

The weather here is fine

But day and night it blares

Commanding through loudspeakers:

"Metal is tough, metal will sheen

Metal won't rust when oiled and cleaned

Metal is tough, metal will sheen

Metal will rule in my master scheme"
