Intro
Verse 1
Well it's hard round here to make you a living,
Company town and everything's bought,
The metal man, he can offer you deliverance,
Deliverance gonna be your best shot.
Verse 2
Metal man keeps more secrets than the preacher,
Preacher keeps more sinners than the boss,
Boss man keeps on working you harder,
Cops just do whatever they want.
Chorus
There's copper in the hills
You ain't gotta mine,
Just a pick up truck in the dead of night,
Birds of a feather they'll flock and cry,
But the metal man don't care which way you fly.
Verse 3
Robin Hood used to make him a killing
Taking from the top and giving to the poor,
The metal man don't need it that Christian
Long as you get him a little more.
Verse 4
So it's facemask, Sawzall, work gloves, and coveralls,
Bought in cash and a tarp for the truck.
Leave your phone at home and plates half hidden,
The metal man won't ask where you're getting that
Chorus
Copper in the hills
You ain't gotta mine,
Just a pick up truck in the dead of night,
Birds of a feather they'll flock and cry,
But the metal man don't care which way you fly.
Ain't a thing a rich man came by honest,
Every dollar turned is another prophet,
Elijah, Elisha, Jeremiah, John--
The metal man is just the latest one.
He's just the latest one
Verse 5
Faraday, getaway, GPS tracking,
"I ain't seen nothing, officer,
Why you asking?"
Two to four lights out,
Careful how you drive out,
Rock in your shoe and your mouth screwed shut.
Pre-Chorus
There's a tool for everything you need,
A sawzall that can get you free.
Chorus
Copper in the hills
You ain't gotta mine,
Just a pick up truck in the dead of night,
Birds of a feather they'll flock and cry,
But the metal man don't care which way you fly.
Ain't a thing a rich man came by honest,
Every dollar turned is another prophet,
Elijah, Elisha, Jeremiah, John--
The metal man is just the latest one.
He's just the latest one
He's just the latest one
He's just the latest one
He's just the latest
