Matter Eater Lad

He constructed a factory Just because he was hungry Just to see how it tasted Bicycle wheel in a brat's brain Chorus: Yeah he's mad He's matter eater lad Yeah he's mad He's matter eater lad First he started on furniture Then he moved on to parking lots Now he's eating Ansonia Now he's eating Andromata He's matter eater lad Chorus x3
