I hear the sound in a metal way
I feel the power rolling on the stage
'Cause only one thing really sets me free
Heavy metal, loud as it can be
Baby I was born to play music
I am a man with a screaming guitar
There's a light in a middle of the stage
And in a minute I'll be wearing it all
I don't know another way of living
Man I couldn't really care
Give me a pair of jeans and a riff that's mean
And girls that love to share
Heavy metal, metal daze
Heavy metal, heavy metal daze
Heavy metal, heavy metal daze
Living like there's no tomorrow
Yeah Currie says we're on the edge
He said man you're really graffic
This bands a social wedge
Yeah we all got hearts made of metal
And our blood is hot molten rock
And If I don't hear the sound of metal
I go into shock
So mister D. J. play just one for me
You know the one with the crashin' and the screams
'Cause only one thing really sets me free
Heavy metal loud as it can be

C'mon, let's not distort what Manowar was about. That's not such a big 'hollah' at the DJ. In fact, no one used the word 'hollah' at the time of Manowar's first. Plus that song was on the Liberty label, which almost immediately dropped the men of metal breach cloth (although for Liberty they were more into the gun belts and Vietnam era ammo bandoliers). Manowar was far more concerned with castigating the false metal demographic.
