Facing Fear

Marginal Metal

I'm gonna show you that rock n' roll is freedom
So shake your ass by gods or bang your head by demons
Bring your emotions, bring your sensations
Bring what you can and feel the power of this nation

Shabby band shirt, beat up sneakers
Short of money in my pocket, but I hear the speakers
Long weekends hike, cheap drink all night
Lazy food to warm up and hope for better time
Getting the bus
Thinking at night
I'll only be back tomorrow
I wanna forget this shitty life

Marginal metal
Oh, oh
Marginal metal
I've been seen as a marginal metal
Marginal metal
Oh, oh
Marginal metal
Now they'll see the marginal metal

But there the eyes stare at me and I don't know
If it's because of my hair or my skin or both
And only then do I realize that I don't look like their idols or most of them too
I go up on stage
Now it's my turn
My voice echoes around
And I feel the whole place burn

Marginal metal
Oh, oh
Marginal metal
I've been seen as a marginal metal
Marginal metal
Oh, oh
Marginal metal
Now they'll see the marginal metal

They live in a hierarchy
They created their own policy
They enforce their rules
Speaking like fools
I do not need this
I don't fit in that idiocy
Rock n' Roll is freedom
And Heavy Metal is all about contesting

Marginal metal
Oh, oh
Marginal metal
I've been seen as a marginal metal
Marginal metal
Oh, oh
Marginal metal
Now they'll see the marginal metal
