Lyrics

Metal Thrashing Mad

[Intro]

Woah-yeah!

[Verse 1]

Racing down the road

In a street machine of steel

Gears are jammed in full

I'm the madman at the wheel

[Chorus]

Got my foot pinned to the floor

You can feel the engine roar

I got thunder in my head

I'm metal thrashing mad, yeah!

Metal thrashing mad, yeah!

[Verse 2]

Driving like a maniac

I can't go any faster

I'm burning up the road

And headed for disaster

[Chorus]

Got my foot pinned to the floor

You can feel the engine roar

I got thunder in my head

I'm metal thrashing mad

Whoa-yeah!

[Guitar Solo: Dan Spitz]

[Bridge]

Woah-yeah!

[Verse 1]

Racing down the road

In a street machine of steel

Gears are jammed in full

I'm the madman at the wheel

[Chorus]

Got my foot pinned to the floor

You can feel the engine roar

I got thunder in my head

I'm metal thrashing mad

Got my foot pinned to the floor

You can feel the engine roar

I got thunder in my head

I'm metal thrashing mad
