"Metal Soul" lyrics

I'm bright as brass
Sleek as silver
Good as gold
But I'll never ever be as I was told
And that's why I'll never grow old
Never grow old

I'm bright as brass
Sleek as silver
Good as gold
But I'll never ever be as I was told
And that's why I'll never grow old
Never grow old

The papers make me feel small
And my back's up against the wall
And I can't believe what I read
Another young boy falls down on the street
And the only thing that I'm sure
Is that I'm sure of nothing at all
But if youth is wasted on the young
Then this song'd never get sung

But I'm bright as brass
Sleek as silver
Good as gold
But I'll never ever be as I was told
And that's why I'll never grow old
Never grow old

Bright as brass
Sleek as silver
Good as gold
But I'll never ever be as I was told
And that's why I'll never grow old
Never grow old

(I'm not sure here)
But he likes her and she likes me
But looking back I threw it all away
Now everywhere that I go
It's all about how you look
Who you know

And if youth is wasted on the young
Then this song would never get sung
And time, time it moves so slow
Well, time can fly right out the window
Out the window

But I'm bright as brass
Sleek as silver
Good as gold
But I'll never ever be as I was told
And that's why I'll never grow old
Never grow old

Bright as brass
Sleek as silver
Good as gold
But I'll never ever be as I was told
And that's why I'll never grow old
Never grow old
