Built to Last Lyrics by The Protomen

0

(I am polished steel) I am a piston drivin'
(Straight through your heart) I'll make you feel alive and
(Tear you apart) If you still survive (Get out while you can)
(I am all revved up) I have real red leather
(Coming for you) You hear my engine whining
(And in a bolt of blue) I'm gonna make you mighty
(Clear me a path)
A machine of a man, and baby I was built to last
(If you could see my eyes) Smell the diesel burnin'
(Behind this dark, black glass) I see the whole world turnin'
(Give it some more gas) The Line of No Return is
(Coming up fast)
(There's fire in my veins) Baby, don't forget it
(Sweat and oil) My hearts electric
(We're gonna rock that road) So come and get it
(Put your foot on the gas)
A machine of a man, and baby I was built to last
(I see the sun go down) I see the streets get rough
(I been here all along) I know you think you're tough
(I'll be here when you're gone) You say you've had enough
(When the night time comes, baby) I wanna play rock and roll
A machine of a man, and baby I was built to...
Let's go
Baby, I was built to last
Baby, I was built to last
Baby, I was built to last
Baby, I was built to last
Well the world may die! It may all catch fire
I will still survive because I'll go on and on! And on! And on
(A machine of a man, and baby I was built to last)
