NOTE: These are only partial lyrics from the original. Transcribed from the November 18, 2007 performance.
I am Iron Man!
Has he lost his mind
Can he see or is he blind?
Can he walk at all,
Or if he moves will he fall
He was turned to steel
In the great magnetic field
When he traveled time
For the future of mankind
Nobody wants him
He just stares at the world
Planning his vengeance
That he will soon unfold
…
