The Japanese are buying up on guitars

Invade our beaches, driving cars

Hondas, Toyotas, Insuzurus

Fight 'em beat 'em got a lot to loose

Fenders, Gibsons, stack 'em high

Stack 'em up against the sky

Speakers blasting, blasting in vans

Make them wish they didn't land



[Chorus:]



1, 2, 3

It's an American heavy metal weekend

It's an American heavy metal weekend



The English, sure we'll give 'em a break

With their Hiwatts and their Marshalls

It started here make no mistake

It's alway real and never fake

Platform boots and puffy hair

Gotta raise and scare

Metal merchants peddle their wares

No U.S. made buyer beware



[Chorus]



What I want, what I need is

Made here in the U.S.A.

Never ashamed, always proud

Always hard, always loud

Amplifiers vibrate across the globe

Send those rats in their holes



[Chorus]
