Billie Joe Armstrong - Mechanical Man Lyrics
I ain't a politician
I'm just a bad musician
Whatcha gonna do for me?
Do you have a taste for
Really good LSD
I'd like to start a band with
I'll sing and you can
Learn to play the tambourine
Here's an invitation
No time for hesitation
Come and join my family
I live inside of you
But you don't belong to me
I'm a reflection of you
What's my recipe?
Half a cup satanical
Teaspoon puritanical
Stir it with a bloody hand
Quarter cup messiahcal
Sprinkle of maniacle
Now I'm a mechanical man
I'll give you the heads up
Come on and get your legs up
This is called the family jam
Together we'll stay hidden
Wait for Armageddon
Stick it to the man
[Chorus]
[Charlie (laughs):] "Watch this shit, woman! Gonna learn somethin' right now."
[Singing]
Open up the curtains
Then we'll start hurting
Come on lets do the creepy crawl
The shows about to go down
Come I got the low down
Together we'll make Hollywood fall
I live inside of you
But you don't belong to me
I'm a reflection of you
What's my recipe?
I live inside of you
But you don't belong to me
I'm a reflection of you
What's my recipe?
I live inside of you
But you don't belong to me
I'm a reflection of you
You look at me and what do you see?
A half a cup satanical, a teaspoon puritanical,
Stirred with a bloody hand
A quarter cup messiahcal, a sprinkle of maniacal
And now I'm a mechanical man
A half a cup satanical, a teaspoon puritanical,
Stirred with a bloody hand
A quarter cup messiahcal, a sprinkle of maniacal
And now I'm a mechanical man

Michelle Castro Yep XDDD
OMG I DIDNT KNOW THIS EXISTED HOLY GUACAMOLE I LOVE IT
This is for Live Freaky! Die Freaky! a stop motion movie about the Manson family. Billie Joe did Charles Manson's voice.
they should really do this at their shows. with the real green day feel
throwback !!!!!
Oh Billie. I wonder what made you think of this song? Honestly I have to admit, the first time I listened to this song, I thought it was crap. But not that I've listened about a million times I realized my mood gets much happier after it's done.
Scarlett Canter Dawg, it from a movie
politician*
If only all you kids could understand what the 60's was all about? You would reject everything in today's society and become enemies of the state!
The ringing sound kinda resembles the old message notification tune from Windows Messenger.
I remember downloading this on 56k modem back in the dayyyyy lol
Billie isn't a bad musician. He is very talented men.
He's singing in the perspective of a character. It's from the movie Live Freaky, Die Freaky
Key point of BJ number 576:
Self deprecating humor is the best!
True👍🏻❤️
this is actually from a movie called "live freaky! die freaky!", a dark comedy take on the manson family murders. charles manson was a failed musician, hence the line.
this song makes me happy whenever i want to listen
it doesn't really sound like Bille...
+William Rickton Realy ? Why not ? The voice sound close for me, anyway I'm Belgian, English is not my first language :/ And what about the lyrics ? Speak about Sex, Drugs and Band .. ? That sound like beginning of Green Day, but I'm maybe wrong :c
+William Rickton cause u don't know billie that well this voice is so unique
Yeah, this comment was from a while ago, I've learned Billie's voice is unique and that it can do most anything. I also quite enjoy Mike's voice
best song ever billie!!!!!!!!!!!!
do you have a taste for sex and blood and hate or really good LSD?
well if its the shit mike was on when he wrote the bass line for longveiw, sure!
it was XD
actually i think it was acid
LSD is acid. It's a nickname.
This song sounds..cute haha.
CUTE!? That's what I thought, then I saw the movie this was for. "Live Freaky, Die Freaky"
... Not cute
"come on and get your legs up" - basically Jesus *kinda* rapes a girl, although she lets him, because its Jesus
Pēteris Blūms it's Charles Manson, not jesus
catchy song this :)
OMG the memories
Donica Worthington i know right
Some of the words that were typed out were spelled wrong, and some of the actually lyrics were wrong in this video. I'm not being mean, really I'm not. Just had to say something.
there is a video of him recording it
Yeah pretty sure its billie
@izzyxgirl77*Charlie Hanson
It's Manson... Lmfao.
@Bob Shan Its how they changed the names in the movie "Live Freaky! Die Freaky!" Where this song went to so instead of Susan Atkins or Tex i's Susan(Sadie) Hatkins or Hex
+Bob Shan not in the movie lol u must of missed that movie.
Charles Manson :)
*Hanson
its based off of manson but because of copyright reasons its Hanson
Live Freaky Die Freaky :)
Our LEGO Channel :)
A drug that makes you hallucinate and see things.
Billy! He makes fun of Charlie :L
curtains*
better than Manson's version for sure
haha. This is hilarious. Whenever someone asks me what kind of music I like I am going to start singing this song.
Really good LSD. It's all.
WTF!?!?!? very nice song !
I would have never known what a trip
This songs about the serial killer "Charles Manson"
He's not a serial killer. never killed any one of those vitcims from the tate/labianca murders
This song needs to be purchasable
This boy needs to burn
Great! I like this song cx
funny song
The chill I get because this song is fuckin amazing
His break-down at 1:37 makes me laugh :D
I dig this song a lot. I like his voice here better than in other songs.
I'm creeped by how much I like this
its about charles manson
No one read the Jk part huh.
haha dats soo stupidly funny
No duhh
it was a joke -_-
thats cause it is
you don't say?
This sounds like the guy from Green Day who agrees?
Jk ^_^
Thanks. Sorry if that was a stupid question, but I'm a stupid person sometimes...
Live freaky die freaky the movie
Wait, what is this from?
sounds a little like maxwell's silver hammer
awesome song man
What is this song about? Haha
What is this song about? Lol
Mechanical sounds like McKenna, (My name) so this is the best thing ever.
Sounds like Black Blade by Blue Oyster Cult
Obviously... Depending on the way you see this song, it sounds like it.
have you ever heard sgt peppers?
huh i thought he quit smoking weed? haha
In thought the exact same thing. Sounds like Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Heart's Club Band.
Devo was the punkest band there ever was, for all you stupid mainstream kids out there that don't know shit about music
Made in 1974!
If you guys wanna hear something REALLY FUCKING AWESOME, check out Mechanical Man by Devo
i kinda wanna take this...and put it to awesome guitar music...it would be awesome-ER than it already is
sounds kind of like the beatles.
Billie Joe, you know I would totally play tambourine for you anytime. ;D
No, it's Billie as Charlie "Hanson"
THAT SHIT
Is that tre in the back ground ( watch this jigg women, your gonna learn something here) lol
haha i love billie! oh yea and LIVE FREAKY! DIE FREAKY! ;)
Its from Live Freaky! Die Freaky! :D
oooook
i think that's because it's from a movie
I cant really find this song anywhere but here. Thats pretty annoying!
@WyntrReaverW888 Ok thanks. I found some parts, but it won't let me watch em cuz I'm under 18 :/ But I'll find one that's not monitored eventually.
@greetlesday13 I just watched it on youtube but that was a couple years ago. idk if all the parts are still up.
@WyntrReaverW888 Well no kidding, but I'm just saying it's not as bad as say the real life people ones. Do you know where I can get it?
@Shancus32796 lol i sang it during mod 3 and my teacher was all like O.o she said "that is so not something i would hear you say expeshaly since your only in 7th gread" lol i love this song
@greetlesday13 OH just because it's a claymation doesn't mean it's not BAD. its a horrid movie. and i loved every minute of it! don't watch with little children in the room thats alll im gonna say. hope you enjoy it!
It's extremely disturbing stop motion- ever heard of the puppet sex scene in Team America, and how it was new and fucked up? This came first, and was a hundred times worse. On that note, It was great to watch with a bunch of punks.
@TheSunChild33 Well if it's claymation then it's not THAT graphic. And I have a somewhat sick sense of humor so that would be okay. I still really wanna see it. It looks hilarious :D
