Metal heart

I wish I had a metal heart
I could cross the line
I wish that I was half as good
as you think I am

but now that we know for sure they´re telling lies when they say
no one gets hurt and therefore nobody dies
you know it´s hard to believe anything that you hear
they say the world is round

wish I was as big as you
you´d have to tell the truth
I´d be nothing you could hurt
nothing you could use

but now that we know for sure they´re telling lies when they say
no one gets hurt and therefore nobody dies
you know it´s hard to believe anything that you hear
they say the world is round
the world is round? I want to be dependable, I want to be courageous and good
I want to be faithful so that I can be heroic and true
I want to be a friend you can rely on you can lean on and trust
I want to understand so I can forgive and be willing to love

I wish I wasn´t flesh and blood
I would not be scared
of bullets built with me in mind
for then i could be saved

my sweet lord take care of me for i think i´m done
kiss my mother on her cheek and lay my burden down

but now that we know for sure they´re telling lies when they say
no one gets hurt and therefore nobody dies
you know it´s hard to believe anything that you hear
they say the world is round
the world is round?
the world is round?!
