Big Payback Lyrics
[Intro]
Hit it!
[Refrain]
Hit it! Ha!
[Verse 1]
I'm mad
Revenge
I'll cut your throat
I'll make amends
[Refrain]
Huh! Huh!
[Verse 2]
I'm mad
That's a fact
Get ready, dog
For the big payback!
[Verse 1]
I'm mad
Revenge
I'll cut your throat
I'll make amends
[Verse 3]
Take a walk
We'll have a talk
The business end
Of my 12-gauge friend
[Verse 2]
I'm mad
It's a fact
Get ready, dog
For the big payback!
[Refrain]
Hit it! Ha!
[Guitar Solo]
[Outro]
Hit it! Wha-oh!
