Metal Dilemma Lyrics by Punky Brüster

Cooked on Phonics

1996

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!!
"YOU ARE FIRED METAL GUY !
So, with their oldy heavy metal manager now out of the picture, Punky Bruster were now on a prowl for new managerial blood
And, at the advice of the all-knowing and all-seeing record company, they went prowling with their new voices...
Look! It's a manager!
A manager is coming to see us!
Oh he's so beefy!
He is!
Hihihi ^ ^
Yeah... You guys got a lot of potential... but...
-*background chipmunk*
You still sound pretty heavy metal
-Ah you mean? you mean...?
Yeah that's coming from me, I, I'm, I'm a manager you know I know these things...
-ah
If you wanna make it in the music biz guys, you gotta get yourself a new vocalist...
-No way! We are a band!
Okay okay, at least a guest vocalist for the album..."
