play that over the verse:

He's just an American boy & he loves his machine. 

No back-talk from a machine. When was the last time a television set--gave you shit about who you met last night? 

No back-talk machine. 

If your motor doesn't turn over smooth for you, you don't feed it right.

Give it a little grease--give it a little gas, drive

straight on through the night

Man-made mechanical mover--love your machine.


*~Have some A major 7ths and 9ths during vocal before entering main riff again~*


~*repeat main riff*~

You say nothing's right but natural things-- you fool.

Poison oak is a natural plant why don't you put some in your food.

I don't care if there's chemicals in it as long as my lettuce is crisp!

Preservatives might just be preserving you, I think that's something you missed! Yeah, you missed it.

Man-made mechanical mover, I love his machine.

~*main riff*~

He's just an american boy & I love his machine.

Smooth moving steel.

Keep your engine warm & wet and be friendly to your steel.

Feed it right, your mechanical pet then get behind the wheel.

Put a little statch in the old corvette then give it a feel.

Smooth moving steel--give it a feel

man-made mechanical mover--it'll move faster than

you can--vegetable lover.
