Posehn Metal By Numbers Lyrics

They've killed metal twice, but it'll never really die!
It's kind of like a zombie or even that Jesus guy.

So grab your friends, some instruments and start a metal band.
Sing about death, Egypt and wizards, or rip off Ayn Rand.

We're coming to the end of the first verse.
Then comes the breakdown, pretty chorus, and then the second verse.

I know I just rhymed verse with verse,
That's because I'm so metal, b____; where's your f___in' purse?

BREAKDOWN! In this part it sounds like the singer wants to fight.
BREAKDOWN! Don't be scared; the chorus will make it all alright.

(Chorus)
Metal by numbers, 1, 2, 3.
Follow these rules and you'll see
Cookie Monster vocals or yell like a wookie.
Metal by numbers, COOKIE, COOKIE, COOKIE.
Metal by numbers, 1, 2, 3.
"This is the gay part" with melody.
Even a baby could do it, just give it a try.
Just sound like Maiden or Metallica or Every Time I Die.

I have to change my voice to make me sound mad.
If I tried to sing clean it would make your ears sad.

This is the gang vocal and I'll tell you the truth,
It's four sweaty dudes yelling in a booth.

Music really sucks now, posers, trendy fools,
But compared to Coldplay and Nelly, even s___ty metal rules.
It's metal by numbers, it's not arithmetic
John Mayer, Kelly Clarkson, they all can suck my... p____.

BREAKDOWN! In this part it sounds like the singer wants to fight.
BREAKDOWN! Don't be scared; the chorus will make it all alright.

(Chorus)
Metal by numbers, 1, 2, 3.
Follow these rules and you'll see
Cookie Monster vocals or yell like a wookie.
Metal by numbers, COOKIE, COOKIE, COOKIE.
Metal by numbers, 1, 2, 3.
"This is the gay part" with melody.
Even a monkey could do it, just give it a try.
Copy Maiden or Metallica or Every Time I Die.

(Spoken)
Here it comes! Come on! All right!
Are... you... almost... ready! Dammit, I missed it!

This is the mosh part! So, mosh!
Or don't. It's your call. I'm too old for it. I just sort of stand in the back and try not to get hit. Watch out for the shirtless white trash guys; they'll punch you and they stink. And look out for the screamo kids trying out their karate kicks. Dude, you look gaytarded. And look out for the giant Mexican guy; he looks really p___ed. I wish everybody would just put their shirts back on; it's kind of gross. Is this part still going? Here comes the lead break! Oh, not yet. Here it comes. Here it comes. Go!

(Chorus)
Metal by numbers, 1, 2, 3.
Follow these rules and you'll see
Cookie Monster vocals or yell like a wookie.
Metal by numbers, COOKIE, COOKIE, COOKIE.
Metal by numbers, 1, 2, 3.
"This is the gay part" with melody.
Even a r_____ could do it, just give it a try.
Steal from Maiden or Metallica or Every Time I Die.
