Building Blues (TF2 Engineer Song)

[Intro] (Yeah) Got my hard hat on, wrench in my right hand Blueprints spread out, got a brand-new plan Teleporter humming, sentry’s getting tuned If you see that toolbox, better leave the room (woo) [Verse 1] Metal on the floor and a war at the door I’m a good ol’ boy from the Texas core Got my goggles down when the bullets fly But I stay real calm while the rockets cry Wrench in my palm, hear the metal sing When I swing that steel, makes a deadly ring If you see me crouched by a busted wall I’m patching this mess while they’re screaming call [Chorus] I’m the engineer, build it up, stand clear When the sentry locks on, enemies disappear Turnin’ bolts, burnin’ hot, keep the payload near You can rush my nest but you won’t get here From the spawn to the front, every line I steer Got a mind like a gear and a plan each year If you hear that beep and the whirring in your ear That’s my level three singing loud and clear [Verse 2] Tele in the back by the health pack glow Got a shortcut home everywhere you go Dispenser full of bullets, metal, and dreams I’m the quiet kind of hero on your favorite team Spy creepin’ close with a mask and tie But I tap that sap before the sparks can fly I can hear those steps when they’re creeping slow One swing, two swings, down they go [Chorus] I’m the engineer, build it up, stand clear When the sentry locks on, enemies disappear Turnin’ bolts, burnin’ hot, keep the payload near You can rush my nest but you won’t get here From the spawn to the front, every line I steer Got a mind like a gear and a plan each year If you hear that beep and the whirring in your ear That’s my level three singing loud and clear [Bridge] Upgrade that base when the round gets rough Every nut, every bolt, never quite enough When the cart rolls back and the boys lose ground I drop one pad and I hold this town Got a calm low drawl on the voice chat line Say, “Y’all fall back, barricade that mine” If we hold this point till the clock runs dry Then we’ll tip our hats while the foes ask why [Chorus] I’m the engineer, build it up, stand clear When the sentry locks on, enemies disappear Turnin’ bolts, burnin’ hot, keep the payload near You can rush my nest but you won’t get here From the spawn to the front, every line I steer Got a mind like a gear and a plan each year If you hear that beep and the whirring in your ear That’s my level three singing loud and clear [Outro] (Yeah) Hard hat tipped as the sirens fade Just another long day on the metal-made grade If you need one man to defend this sphere Call the guy with the wrench and the big idea, engineer (hey)
