this song was originaly recorded by Bob Seger.
Metallica did a cover of it on thier Garage. Inc album
now i do my own version, as a tribute for us at the Dungeon.
in a lone and empty gym away form the rest of the world
you listen to the metal clanking in the early morning
you can think about the iron, or the weight you moved the night before
but your thoughts will soon be wandering the way they always do
when you're in the gym for hours and there's soo much more to do
you don't feel much like lying, you just wish the day was through
[CHORUS:]
but here I am, in the gym again
here I am, up on the stage
here I go, pumping iron again
there I go, pump away.
as you walk into civilisation, strung out from the gym
and you feel the eyes upon you, as you're shaking off the sweat
you pretend it doesn't bother you, but you just want to explode
and most times you can hear 'em talk, other times you can't
all the same old cliches: is it really me? or is it them? and you always seem outnumbered, outcasted, but you leave the city damned.
[CHORUS]
out there in the spotlight, your not here but just a thought away.
every ounce of energy, your up on stage
and the sweat pours from your body, the calories that you burnt today
later in the evening, as you lie awake in bed
with the echoes of the heavy iron, ringin' in your head
you drink the days last protien shake, rememberin' what we said...
[CHORUS] | 
TEAM BIG PAY CHECK
