Rock boy
His genital sack juice mad
His delicious apparatus
Would flutter and tremble
After heated worship
He would freeze it in a jar
And sell it to celebrity lesbians
Good work if you can get it
Good work if you can get it
They wanna buy it in kilos
They wanna buy it in grams
They wanna buy it in kilos
They wanna buy it in grams
You know they're down with the metric system
They never fuck around
They wanna buy it in kilos
They wanna buy it in grams
You know they're down with the metric system
They never buy the pound
Good work if you can get it
Rock boy
His genital sack juice mad
His delicious apparatus
Would flutter and tremble
After heated worship
He would freeze it in a jar
And sell it to celebrity lesbians
Good work if you can get it
Good work if you can fucking get it
Good work if you can get it
Good work if you can get it
They wanna buy it in kilos
They wanna buy it in grams
They wanna buy it in kilos
They wanna buy it in grams
You know they're down with the metric system

The Metric System
Placebo's 'The Metric System' features a collaboration with Brian Molko, blending the band's post-punk energy with Molko's melodic sensibilities. This track exemplifies the group's ability to merge electronic textures with raw vocal performance, characteristic of their work during the late 1990s and early 2000s. The song reflects the era's shift towards more experimental soundscapes while maintaining the emotional intensity that defined Placebo's catalogue. It stands as a notable example of their cross-genre experimentation, showcasing how the band integrated diverse influences into their signature style without compromising their core identity.
