[Verse 1]
Somewhere out where no one knows
Runs a cool revolution fight
Way out there where no one goes
And it's got to keep moving
Got to keep getting it right
So, here's to the piston charged
Combustible delight
The single-minded supercharged
That's got to keep movin'
Got to keep getting it

[Chorus]
A call to arms
A call right through the dream
A call to action
Blow up the in-between
Feed, feed your engine
Feed, feed the wolverine
Feed, feed the tension
Mean, green, killing machine

[Post-Chorus]
C'mon, c'mon, and say what my name is:
Mean, green, killing machine
[Verse 2]
So, Mother Mary gave the nod
The saints bathed in holy light
The machine had hit the lightning rod
And it had to keep rolling
Rolling on through the night
In the deep, dark underground
With eyes that have no sight
So, here's to the battleground
That's got to keep rolling
Got to keep rolling

[Chorus]
A call to arms
A call right through the dream
A call to action
Blow up the in-between
Feed, feed your engine
Feed, feed the wolverine
Feed, feed the tension
Mean, green, killing machine

[Post-Chorus]
C'mon, c'mon, and say what my name is:
Mean, green, killing machine
[Bridge 1]
The clock, your only friend
As time leaves its debris
Your soul is on the mend
But time is killing me
I gave you everything
But a machine I'll always be

[Refrain]
Pick it up

[Bridge 2]
They got nothing more to add to the conversation
They drink gasoline from a dirty glass
They got nothing but a sad, sad situation
With nothing more to add to the damnation
Nuts and bolts and screws with no social class
They got nothing but a sad, sad situation
It's a sad, sad, sad, sad situation
Nuts and bolts and screws, balls of brass

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
If you're out where no one goes
Where no one cares to lie
Keep 'em open; don't you blink
I'm talking 'bout, talking 'bout your eyes
It's faster than the speed of light
And sonically disguised
There comes the mean, green motherfucker
Blazing 'cross the sky
[Chorus]
A call to arms
A call right through the dream
A call to action
Blow up the in-between
Feed, feed your engine
Feed, feed the wolverine
Feed, feed the tension
Mean, green, killing machine

[Outro]
Killing machine
Killing machine
Mean, green, killing machine
