Beat Boy Lyrics - Singles - Visage

The siren screams to start the day 

You get up early to earn your pay 

Push the button throw that switch 

Turbines roar their unholy pitch 

I listen I can hear 

Pounding like thunder 

Pistons push the steel on steel 

Steam filled air turns the wheel 

The wheel in turn takes the strain 

Pounds the beat again and again 

Chorus: 

Metal on metal 

The feeling of steel 

Someone is driving 

But you've got the wheel 

The workers sing the same old song 

Machines in motion they're never wrong 

You think in time you will be free 

But a factory man is what you'll be 

I listen I can hear 

Pounding like thunder 

Pistons push the steel on steel 

Steam filled air turns the wheel 

The wheel in turn takes the strain 

Pounds the beat again and again 

Chorus 

Angry young men look to the west 

Speak for yourself you'll pass the test 

Fortune beholds the brave so they say 

Questions unanswered the risk they might pay 

I listen I can hear 

Pounding like thunder 

Chorus 

Fade
