What the devil's goin' on

Why don't your turn that music down

You're going deaf and that's for sure

But all you do is scream for more

Get the lead out go for broke

Pop your pills and drink and smoke

Shoot those chemicals into your vein

Anything to ease the pain

Heavy metal (heavy metal) poisoning (it's a poison)

A toxic wasteland (got a toxic wasteland) in your ear canal (in your ear canal!)

Overloaded (I'm overloaded), suffering (yeah!)

Overloaded (overloaded) on sex and drugs

Everything is black and white

You are wrong and we are right

First we'll spank your big behinds

Then we'll twist your little minds

I'm Dr. Righteous (I'm Dr. Righteous), and I'm here to sing (yeah!)

That heavy metal (heavy metal) is poisoning

It's a music wasteland, that destroys the young (yeah!)

They're overloaded (overloaded) on sex and drugs, sex and drugs, sex and drugs

And rock and roll!

I'm Dr. Righteous (I'm Dr. Righteous), and I'm here to sing (yeah!)

That heavy metal (heavy metal) is poisoning

It's a music wasteland, that destroys the young (yeah!)

They're overloaded (overloaded) on sex and drugs, sex and drugs, sex and drugs

And rock and roll!

Heavy metal (heavy metal) poisoning (it's a poison)

A toxic wasteland (got a toxic wasteland) in your love canal love canal!)

Overloaded (I'm overloaded), suffering (yeah!)

Overloaded (overloaded) on sex and drugs, sex and drugs, sex and drugs

sex and drugs, sex and drugs, sex and drugs, sex and drugs, sex and drugs

"Righteous! Righteous!..."

"Shut up!"

"...Righteous! Righteous! Righteous! Righteous! Righteous! Yeah!"

"Shut up! Shut up!"
