Metal Dilemma Lyrics - Devin Townsend

I grew up on heavy metal! 

You can't listen to heavy metal! 

All my friends liked heavy metal! 

All your friends were morons! 

Please don't make me cut my hair! 

All the cool kidz cut their hair! 

But now there's shitty music everywhere! 

You're not supposed to care because it's 

Punk rock! Punk rock! 

Punk rock! Punk rock! 

Punk rock! Punk rock! 

Punk rock! Punk rock! 

It's hard to tell what music's cool 

Whatever sells the biggest rules! 

I still find Krokus kinda cool! 

Damn your metal roots, boy! 

But none of these bands even know how to play! 

We'll take it over Yngwie any day! 

Okay, good point, but what's it called?!? 

It's the latest thing, we'll call it 

Punk rock! Punk rock! 

Punk rock! Punk rock! 

Punk rock! Punk rock! 

Punk rock! Punk rock! 

I know that I should like it but my roots get in the way!!! 

Let me play it, I won't tell! 

You can't listen to heavy metal! 

C'mon give me one more metal yell! 

Whoahh-oh!! 

I don't wanna be a punk rocker! 

A heavy metal punk rocker! 

I'm gonna try much harder now to get my metal heard heavy metal now!
