Mechanical Man Lyrics
I aint a politician, I’m just a bad musician
Whatcha gonna do for me?
Do you have the taste for sex and blood and hate
or really good LSD?
I’d like to start a band with you
I’ll sing and you can learn to play the tambourine
Here’s an invitation, no time for hesitation
Come and join my family
I live inside of you
But you don't belong to me
I’m a reflection of you
What’s my recipe?
A half a cup satanical, a teaspoon puritanical,
Stirred with a bloody hand
A quarter cup messiahcal, a sprinkle of maniacal
And now I’m a mechanical man
I’ll give you the heads up
Come on and get your legs up
This is called 'the family jam'
Together we'll stay hidden away for Armageddon
And stick it to the man
I live inside of you
But you don't belong to me
I’m a reflection of you
What’s my recipe?
A half a cup satanical, a teaspoon puritanical,
Stirred with a bloody hand
A quarter cup messiahcal, a sprinkle of maniacal
And now I’m a mechanical man
Charlie: [laughs] "watch this shit, woman! gonna learn somethin' right now."
Open up the curtains, then we'll start a hurtin'
Come on let's do the creepy-crawl
The show's about to go down,
Come on, I got the low-down
Together we'll make Hollywood fall
I live inside of you
But you don't belong to me
I’m a reflection of you
What’s my recipe?
I live inside of you
But you don't belong to me
I’m a reflection of you
You look at me and what do you see?
A half a cup satanical, a teaspoon puritanical,
Stirred with a bloody hand
A quarter cup messiahcal, a sprinkle of maniacal
And now I’m a mechanical man
A half a cup satanical, a teaspoon puritanical,
Stirred with a bloody hand
A quarter cup messiahcal, a sprinkle of maniacal
And now I’m a mechanical man
Whatcha gonna do for me?
Do you have the taste for sex and blood and hate
or really good LSD?
I’d like to start a band with you
I’ll sing and you can learn to play the tambourine
Here’s an invitation, no time for hesitation
Come and join my family
But you don't belong to me
I’m a reflection of you
What’s my recipe?
Stirred with a bloody hand
A quarter cup messiahcal, a sprinkle of maniacal
And now I’m a mechanical man
Come on and get your legs up
This is called 'the family jam'
Together we'll stay hidden away for Armageddon
And stick it to the man
But you don't belong to me
I’m a reflection of you
What’s my recipe?
Stirred with a bloody hand
A quarter cup messiahcal, a sprinkle of maniacal
And now I’m a mechanical man
Come on let's do the creepy-crawl
The show's about to go down,
Come on, I got the low-down
Together we'll make Hollywood fall
But you don't belong to me
I’m a reflection of you
What’s my recipe?
But you don't belong to me
I’m a reflection of you
You look at me and what do you see?
Stirred with a bloody hand
A quarter cup messiahcal, a sprinkle of maniacal
And now I’m a mechanical man
Stirred with a bloody hand
A quarter cup messiahcal, a sprinkle of maniacal
And now I’m a mechanical man

Hey this is a song billie joe recorded for the movie live freaky die freaky. You can get it off of greendayauthority.com so ya its a good song=)
I love this song...someone could think it's stupid, but if you have seen the movie live freaky! die freaky! then you should understand how it's simply clever and funny...
hey ain't this Billie Joe solo
"someone could think it's stupid, but if you have seen the movie live freaky! die freaky! then you should understand how it's simply clever and funny... " You wouldn't need to see the movie, you would just need to know a tiny bit of information about Charles Manson and what he did.
Great, sinister song. Perfect thing to play to your sleeping parents.
the part with really good LSD always gets me. and the bloody hand.
sounds like billie joe has a dark side

This is about charles manson and helter skelter
