Iron Man Lyrics

[Intro]
I am iron man

[Verse 1]
Has he lost his mind?
Can he see or is he blind?
Can he walk at all?
Or if he moves will he fall?

[Verse 2]
Is he live or dead?
Has he thoughts within his head?
We'll just pass him there
Why should we even care?

[Hook]
Oh, iron man

[Verse 3]
He was turned to steel
In the great magnetic field
When he traveled time
For the future of mankind

[Verse 4]
Now the time is here
For iron man to spread fear
Vengeance from the grave
Kills the people he once saved
[Chorus]
Nobody wants him
He just stares at the world
Plan his vengeance
That he will soon unfold
No, nobody wants him
They just turn their heads
And nobody helps him
Now he has his revenge
Oh

[Verse 5]
Heavy boots of lead
Fills his victims full of dread
Running as fast as they can
Iron man lives again

[Hook]
Oh, iron man

[Outro]
Boop, boo-bee doop, boo-bee doop
Boo-bee doo-bee doo-bee doop
Boo-bee doop, boo-bee doo
Beep, bee-ba deep, bee-ba dee-ba dee-ba dee-ba dee-ba deep
Bee-ba deep bee-deep bee
Ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ba, ba-ba-da, ba-ba-da
Ba-ba-doo-ba doo-ba ba, ba-ba

About

This song bio is unreviewed
Genius Annotation

This song was originally a black Sabbath song.
It’s the story of a man that travelled time to see the future. Doing that, he’s seen the apocalypse and travels back to warn humanity.
During the trip he was turned to steel by great magnetic field.
Nobody listens so he goes berserk and kill everybody.
Gosh, that’s exactly what he saw. What a coincidence. What if he never travelled in the first place.
