Black Metal Monster

from Bam! Bam! Bam! by Chip Whitson

about

Set to a Bo Diddley beat, this is a song about your sweet son going through that transformation, seemingly overnight, into a cranky "eatin everything in the house" teen that listens to some pretty raspy rock and roll.

lyrics

I lay down last week for a long nights rest
Jarred awake by a noise from the west
I couldn’t hide and I couldn’t run
It’s behind that door and it’s got my son
Brave Dad I am I turned the knob
Ready to fight a wolf or the blob oh yeah

It was a Black Metal Monster, Black Metal Monster
Black Metal Monster, Black Metal Monster

It made a hiss that rose to a shout
Looked straight and me and growled “get out!”
The only light was a computer screen
It had red rimmed eyes and it looked real mean
I felt the wall to find the switch
To get a better look at that son of a bitch oh yeah

It was a Black Metal Monster, Black Metal Monster
Black Metal Monster, Black Metal Monster

When the light came on I couldn’t find my son
I stared down the beast and cried “what have you done?”
Signs of a struggle were everywhere
From the clothes on the floor to the food on the chair
It said your sweet little boy ain’t coming back
Now go downstairs and get me a snack oh yeah

It was a Black Metal Monster, Black Metal Monster
Black Metal Monster, Black Metal Monster
