Metro MRX arriving in his car
Metro MRX is wanted on the phone
Metro MRX executive dinner
Metro MRX is never on his own

He's my favourite mutant
He's my favourite mutant

Metro MRX is a cog in the machinery
Metro MRX polished shoes and pin stripe
Metro MRX impersonal and straight faced
Metro MRX expensive talc and aftershave

He's my favourite mutant
He's my favourite mutant

Metro MRX not a clone but a look alike
Metro MRX the city's full of him
Metro MRX is only part of business
Metro MRX a persona in a briefcase

He's my favourite mutant
He's my favourite mutant
