Metal Health (Bang Your Head) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well, I'm an axe grinder, pile-driver
Mama says that I never, never mind her
Got no brains, I'm insane
The teacher says that I'm one big pain
I'm like a laser, six-string razor
I got a mouth like an alligator
I want it louder, more power
I'm gonna rock it ‘til it strikes the hour

[Chorus]
Bang your head
Metal health will drive you mad
Bang your head
Metal health will drive you mad
Alright

[Verse 2]
Well, I'm frustrated, outdated
I really wanna be overrated
I'm a finder and I'm a keeper
I'm not a loser and I ain't no weeper
I got the boys to make the noise
Won't ever let up, hope it annoys you
Join the pack, fill the crack
Well, now you're here, there's no way back

[Chorus]
Bang your head
Metal health will drive you mad
Bang your head
Metal health will drive you mad

[Post-Chorus]
Metal health will cure your crazy
Metal health will cure your mad
Metal health is what we all need
It's like a heart attack

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
Bang your head, wake the dead
We're all metal mad, it's all you have
So bang your head
And raise the dead, oh yeah
Metal health
It drives you mad, mad, mad, mad

[Chorus]
Bang your head
Metal health will drive you mad
Bang your head
Metal health will drive you mad

[Outro]
Oh, get your straightjackets on tonight
(Bang your head)
Oh (Metal health will drive you mad)
The bad boys are gonna set you right
(Bang your head)
Oh, rock ya, rock ya, rock ya
(Metal health will drive you mad)
Bang your head
