[Verse 1]
There you stand with your L.A. tan
And your New York walk and your New York talk
Your mother left you when you were small
But you're gonna wish you wasn't born at all

[Chorus]
Steel and glass
Steel and glass

[Verse 2]
Your phone don't ring, no one answers your call
How does it feel to be off the wall?
Your mouthpiece squawks as he spreads your lies
But you can't pull strings if your hands are tied
Your teeth are clean, but your mind is capped
You leave your smell like an alley cat

[Chorus]
Oh, steel and glass
Oh, steel and glass

[Interlude]

[Chorus]
Steel and glass
Oh, steel and glass

[Verse 3]
There you stand with your toilet scent
And your Mickey duck and your Donald fuck
Your daddy left when you were small
But you're gonna wish you wasn't born at all

[Chorus]
Steel and glass
Oh, steel and glass

[Outro]
Steel and glass
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na

A very underrated band from Seattle, but was a little late to the grunge scene. Success wasn’t easy for them as all of the bands at that time in Seattle were growing and getting huge, most said they would get ignored. The group formed in 1990 and released their first studio album in 1993 self-titled.
