Verse 1:

These last few years have been so hard
We rose tall, but let down our guard
Don't know quite where it all went wrong
This Metal beast once stood so strong

Then infected with a deadly disease
Has brought the rock god to its knees
I fear the end is coming near
Will rock fall to those grungy queers?

Chorus 1:

METAL Famine
Spreads like a plague throughout the land
METAL Famine
There's no more real metal bands
METAL Famine
Was that disco or glam rock?
METAL Famine
Alternative ain't got no cock!

Verse 2:

Judas Priest played in front of twenty-three
Iron Maiden can't fill the Marquee
All the arenas have collapsed
Rather starve than eat that grungy crap!

Chorus 2:

METAL Famine
Spreads like a plague throughout the land
METAL Famine
There's no more real metal bands
METAL Famine
Was that disco or glam rock?
METAL Famine
Alternative ain't got no cock!

Bridge:

I see a light, the brightest flame
It's kids burning their metal tapes
Is metal crippled and so dead?
Rather mosh than bang their heads!

Verse 3:

Yet I know that we can't be killed
Without battle there is no thrill
I know we'll rise again one day
And then we'll kill, hack, maim and slay!!!

Chorus 3:

METAL Famine
Spreads like a plague throughout the land
METAL Famine
There's no more real metal bands
METAL Famine
Was that disco or glam rock?
METAL Famine
Alternative ain't got no cock!

Outro:

METAL Famine, METAL Famine
METAL Famine, it's killing us everyday
METAL Famine, METAL Famine
METAL Famine, True Metal don't go away!
NO!!!
