about

'Metal Is Metal!' is the sixth track from 'When All Else Fails' by Chris Ward. It was originally released on the Metal Is Metal! EP in 2011.

This song was inspired by a YouTube comment in which a user commented "At the end of the day, metal is metal; who gives a f**k about the rest?" With this quote in mind, I then wrote this song about a devoted metal head who doesn't take no for an answer when it comes to rocking out.

lyrics

Verse 1
Don’t care about the money, don’t care about the fame
Don’t want to storm the charts’, that’s not my game
Just want it heavy, and louder than hell
Don’t want to win awards, can’t you tell

Pre-Chorus
Metal is metal, at the end of the day
Old-school or modern, keeps the men in suits at bay
Metal is metal, wouldn’t want it any other way
Power or thrash, don’t care what they say 'cause...

Chorus
I’m on the edge of reality
Banging my head till it all goes black
Caught in a moment of insanity
Now it’s too late and there’s no going back

Verse 2
Don’t care about the t-shirts, don’t care about the TV
Don’t want to feature on the news, that’s not for me
Just want to play guitar, as fast as I can
Don’t want to be controlled, I’m my own man

Pre-Chorus
Metal is metal, at the end of the day
Old-school or modern, keeps the men in suits at bay
Metal is metal, wouldn’t want it any other way
Power or thrash, don’t care what they say, 'cause...

Repeat Chorus x2

'Cause metal is metal! x4
