Metal Country

Oh gotham children, you god gotten children
You little urban wolverines
Oh mighty miters, you summer camp fighters
You lucky latchkey marines

Waiting for the sunset in the lockup skies
The catbird sunset as the feathers fly
In this metal country, this bent metal country
I'm putting on my coat for the rain
In the uptown battle hear the windows rattle
Watch the sweatshop heat turn brown
Then the black and bluebirds streaming from the clue hearse
Are winging those pilgrims down
Oh you hackers wrapped in checkerboard (na na na na hey hey)
Do your raptor eyes see what you're heading toward
(na na na na hey hey)
In this metal country, this melting metal country
I'm putting on my coat for the rain

Oh you rag down riders, you easy slip and sliders
In your edifice of dissent
In the rhythm of the dance, you do and do the dance
Until you breach that firmament
Go work in the factory of forgetting my name
Watch em run run run away
Go back to the school of you sever your shame
Watch em run run run away
Go back to your corner to refresh your pain (na na na na hey hey)
Go see the resting place of the forgotten sane (na na na na hey hey)
In my metal country, my gunmetal country
I'm putting on my coat for the rain
