about

"Middle Age Mettle" is the clarion call of Iron Fist: it's not only descriptive of who we are as a band, but a manifesto of what we believe in.

lyrics

Party animal back in the day
Wild times and crazy women
Metal-head all along the way
Intoxicated, head just swimmin'
Spent my days living hit-or-miss
Middle finger up at life
Almost dying from the craziness
Insanity created strife
But if you lived and you don't know why
Don't let that rebel spirit die

(chorus)

Fists raised high, the power's within
Middle age mettle ain't a sin
Rebel spirit can make a way
Let it loose for a brand-new day
Fists raised high, the power's within
Middle age mettle ain't a sin
Rebel spirit can make a way
Let it loose for a brand-new day
A rebel spirit for a brand-new day

Workin' hard now, payin' the bills
This daily grind won't take its toll
Fightin' back at the life that kills
9 to 5 won't steal my soul
Never quit knowing how to rock
Got the loud drums and guitar
Living large while I watch the clock
No handicaps, I'm a superstar
So now you live, and you know why
To let your rebel spirit fly

(chorus)

Self-destruction ain't my style
I'll be a rebel with a cause
Stay a metal-head all the while
Better now than I ever was!

(chorus)
