Sixteen Hundred Tons
It was a typical day at the Acolyte base and Piotr was doing the job that everyone else handed off to him, moving heavy boxes. Piotr mentally sighed, remembering his discussion with Wolverine about why he couldn't join the X-Men. He began to sing while continuing to move boxes.
Some people say a man is made out of mud.
A Russian man's made out of muscle and blood.
Muscle and blood, skin and bones...
A neck that's thick and a back that's strong.
You move sixteen hundred tons, and what do you get?
Another day older and deeper in debt.
Xavier, don't you call me, 'cause I can't go,
I owe my soul to Magneto.
I woke one mornin' and the sun didn't shine.
I quickly armored up and I felt just fine.
I moved sixteen hundred tons and when I was through,
The bucket head boss said, "Well look at you!"
You moved sixteen hundred tons, and what do you get?
Another day older and deeper in debt.
Xavier, don't you call me, 'cause I can't go,
I owe my soul to Magneto.
I woke one mornin' it was drizzlin' rain.
Fightin' and trouble have become my bane.
I don't want to be an Acolyte, can't you tell?
Just look at my life, it's a living…well,
You move sixteen hundred tons, and what do you get?
Another day older and deeper in debt.
Xavier, don't you call me, 'cause I can't go,
I owe my soul to Magneto.
If you see me comin', better step aside.
A lot of men didn't, a lot of men cried.
Got two fists made of organic steel,
If the right one don't get you, then the left one will.
You move sixteen hundred tons, and what do you get?
Another day older and deeper in debt.
Xavier, don't you call me, 'cause I can't go,
I owe my soul to Magneto.
Piotr picked up another box and saw Magneto staring at him from across the room.
"Bucket Head Boss?!"
"Uh oh." Piotr quickly tried to set the box down but was thrown across the room and pinned against the wall. Magneto forced Piotr to start hitting himself in the face with his own fist, so Piotr reverted back to his non armored form. That's when he noticed the pile of boxes he had just moved below him.
"AAAGGGHHH!"
CRASH!
Remy snuck a quick peak around the door where he was watching the whole thing. "Man, and I though he was the quiet one."
