Metallica Whiplash
Late at night, all systems go You’ve come to see the show We do our best, you’re the rest You make it real, you know There is a feeling deep inside That drives you fuckin’ mad A feeling of a hammerhead You need it oh so bad Adrenaline starts to flow You’re thrashing all around Acting like a maniac Whiplash Bang your head against the stage Like you never did before Make it ring, make it bleed Make it really sore In a frenzied madness With your leathers and your spikes Heads are bobbing all around It’s hot as hell tonight Adrenaline starts to flow You’re thrashing all around Acting like a maniac Whiplash Here on stage the Marshall noise Is piercing through your ears It kicks your ass, kicks your face Exploding feeling nears Now’s the time to let it rip To let it fuckin’ loose We’re gathered here to maim and kill ‘Cause this is what we choose Adrenaline starts to flow You’re thrashing all around Acting like a maniac Here we go Whiplash The show is through, the metal’s gone It’s time to hit the road Another town, another gig Again we will explode Hotel rooms and motorways Life out here is raw But we’ll never stop We’ll never quit ‘Cause we’re Metallica Adrenaline starts to flow You’re thrashing all around Acting like a maniac
