"Metal Sonic" is a song from Virtual Sonic, which was made by Howard Drossin. It is a grunge rock piece with lyrics that are intentionally subversive and hard to understand.[1]

Lyrics[]

He's...
going his own way...
Just...
like a black-eyed stingray...
He's born and raised with a body which screams "come on!"
Like a bitter homely kind of people that's just too much for the heart of the future...
He's out to get you, gonna make you shout...
He wanna touch, he wanna scan you out...
You can run all you want but know, you're gonna pay...
He's put together the wrong way...
The wrong way...
He's put together the wrong way...
The wrong way...

Did you have the lyrics to that anywhere, it's kinda hard to understand? / Howard Drossin: I don't have the lyrics anymore, but I know the first line is -- He's going his own way. My lyrics were a bit subversive for the project and intentionally hard to understand when I sang it."
