It’s a garage dayz nite
And I’ve been working like a dog
It’s a garage dayz nite
Don’t you be sleeping like a log
Cuz when I’m playing for you
You’ll find the things that I do
Will make you feel alright
You know I play all day
I play the metal that makes your ears ring
And it kicks ass just to hear you say
You don’t want “Love at First Sting”
Cuz when I see you it’s nice
To play you “Trapped Under Ice”
You know I feel OK
On the road everything seems to be right
Wherever I may roam the road becomes my bride
FOR HORSEMEN
The day breaks, your mind aches
You find that all the pangs of Famine
Linger on when she no longer feeds you
Sinner once, sinner twice
You find that in its die-hard ruthless metal fury
Time just seems to heed you
And in your eyes you’re King Nothing
No sign of love behind the tears
Ride Four Horsemen
Oh Lars go get me one more beer
Don't stay home, go on out
A quartet of deliverance rides for you
Upon this nite nothing you can do
You want it, you need it
Pestilence all that’s left
For what you’ve had to endure
Death to you for sure
The day breaks, your mind aches
Your girlfriend takes you to
A lame-ass poser Winger concert
Fucking forget her
NO REMORSEFUL REPLY
This happened once before
We smashed in your door—no reply
You said it wan’t you
But I put your head through your window
War without end
I know that you saw me
As I looked down to kick in your face
I tried to telephone
Before I trashed your home—the strong survive
Cuz I know where you’ve been
And I will bash right in your door
Bullets they fly, people they die
Die right by my hand
I creep across the land—death is near
No mercy for what we’re doing
NO thought to even what we’ve done
We don’t need to feel the sorrow
No remorse to the helpless one
No remorse
THE THING THAT SHOULD NOT LET IT BE
When I find myself in times of trouble
Hybrid children come to me
Pray for father roaming—roaming free
And in my hour of darkness
It is standing right in front of me
He is the thing that should not let it be
Let it be, let it be
Hybrid children watch the sea
He is the thing that should not let it be
Crawling chaos underground people
Living in the world agree
The wretch is fearless with insanity
And though he has been sleeping
There is still a chance that he will see
That this thing should not let it be
Not dead which eternal lie
With stranger eons death may die
These are words of wisdom—let it be
I wake up to the sound of music
Let the metal come to me
Death to the one that will not let it be
EVERYBODY’S GOT A TICKET TO RIDE
EXCEPT FOR ME AND MY LIGHTNING
C’mon, it’s such a joy, c’mon you metal boy
C’mon let’s take it easy
C’mon let’s make it sleazy
Everybody’s got a ticket to ride
Except for me and my lightning
Your insides ooze out, the electrodes are in
The electrodes are in so your eyeballs pop out
Someone controlling me
Can’t be happening to me
Sweat-chilling cold, I watch death unfold
How true is this? Get it over with
I think I’m gonna be dead, I think it’s today
Electric wires pinned to my head, I’m frying away
I’ve got a ticket to ride the lightning
Death is in the air, it’s bringing me down
Strapped in the electric chair, death is all around
Before I get to riding so high
Someone help me, oh please God help me
Flashing before my eyes
Someone help me, oh please God help me
Wakened by horrid scream burning in my brain
Freed from this frightening dream
I can feel the flame
...AND JUSTICE FOR ALL MY LOVING
Close your eyes and I’ll kiss you
The hammer crushes you, Justice is seeking no truth
And then while I’m away
I can’t believe the price you pay
As I send justice for all my loving to you
All my loving I will send to you
All my loving—find it so sad but true
I’ll pretend that I’m kissing, Lady Justice I’m pissing
Justice lost, raped, and gone for you
The ultimate in vanity, exploiting their supremacy
As I send justice for all my loving to you
