Metal Heart Songtext
von Garbage

I wish I had a metal heart
I could cross the line
I wish I was half as good
As you think I am

Now that we know for sure
They′re telling lies when they say
No one gets hurt and therefore
Nobody dies, you know
It's hard to believe
Anything that you hear they say
The world is round

I wish I was as big as you
You′d have to tell the truth
I'd be nothing you could hurt
Nothing you could use


Now that we know for sure
They're telling lies when they say
No one gets hurt and therefore
Nobody dies, you know
It′s hard to believe
Anything that you hear, they say
The world is round
The world is round

I want to be dependable
I want to be courageous and good
I want to be faithful so
That I can be heroic and true
I want to be a friend
You can rely on, you can lean on and trust
I want to understand
So I can forgive and be willing to love

I wish I wasn′t flesh and blood
I would not be scared
Of bullets built with me in mind
Then I could be saved
My sweet lord, take care of me
For I think I'm done
Kiss my mother on her cheek
Lay my burden down
Lay my burden down


Now that we know for sure
They′re telling lies when they say
No one gets hurt and therefore
Nobody dies, you know
It's hard to believe
Anything that you hear, they say
The world is round
The world is round

The world is round
The world is round
