Steel Won’t Hold Me Down

(Fast tempo, distorted guitars)

Verse 1 Used to fly like a comet, chaos in my stride Mosh pit acrobat, nowhere to hide Now I’m strapped to this chrome chariot, stuck in slow gear But this ain’t no hearse, my spirit ain’t dead here

Chorus Chrome don’t confine me, steel won’t hold me down Got fire in my belly, gonna tear this town Paralyzed, yeah, maybe, but I ain’t paralyzed inside Got rebellion in my heart, anger as my guide

Verse 2 People staring, pity in their eyes Whispering behind backs, like I’m a demise But I ain’t some charity, ain’t looking for your stares Got my own revolution, gonna rise beyond these chairs

Chorus Chrome don’t confine me, steel won’t hold me down Got fire in my belly, gonna tear this town Paralyzed, yeah, maybe, but I ain’t paralyzed inside Got rebellion in my heart, anger as my guide

Bridge This ain’t a sob story, ain’t a pity play Just a different battle, gonna fight another day My wheels keep turning, my spirit’s running wild Watch out world, ’cause the cripple’s gonna smile

Chorus Chrome don’t confine me, steel won’t hold me down Got fire in my belly, gonna tear this town Paralyzed, yeah, maybe, but I ain’t paralyzed inside Got rebellion in my heart, anger as my guide

(Guitar solo)

Chorus Chrome don’t confine me, steel won’t hold me down Got fire in my belly, gonna tear this town Paralyzed, yeah, maybe, but I ain’t paralyzed inside Got rebellion in my heart, anger as my guide

(Outro) Paralyzed? Maybe. Defeated? Never.
