Robb FlynnAbout
The music for “Do Or Die” was written before Machine Head’s split with drummer Dave McClain and guitarist Phil Demmel. However, when the split was announced publicly, not only was the backlash on social media ‘vicious’, but Demmel publicly shared that he “hated” the band’s previous album Catharsis....
Do or Die Lyrics
[Chorus]
One life, one will
Black heart, black still
Ignore the hate, it's do or die motherfucker, die motherfucker
(This is do or die)
My hate is real, this fire it kills
No other choice, it's do or die motherfucker, die
[Verse 1]
I don't give a fuck about you haters and your hate
You assholes better duck, I'm coming swinging out the gate
There's not a metal band I ain't influenced, now I'm calling out the judas
Every band's the fucking same
And all I hear, is all you bitches commenting your chatter
We'll do it over, how much you hated Bastards, Catharsis made you sick
Your mind is made before it hits
You didn't hear a fucking thing
We're not Chimaira or Strapping Young Lad
You wanna hate it but you need it so bad
This ain't just a paycheck to pay self expression
Machine Head's in my fucking veins
[Chorus 2]
One life, one will
Black heart, black still
Ignore the hate, it's do or die motherfucker, die motherfucker
(This is do or die)
My hate is real, this fire it kills
No other choice, it's do or die motherfucker, die motherfucker
[Verse 2]
I don't give a fuck about your stupid little scene
Reaction videos and all your pussy little memes
How many fucking bands I gotta bury, say a prayer to Mother Mary
Welcome to the slaughterhouse
I hear your motherfuckers talk, talk, talk homie
I'll bless your body with some chalk, chalk, chalk
See, I'm one in a billion, a fucking chameleon
We just will be the greatest, you are just the latest in a line of imitators, step into the terror dome
[Chorus 3]
One life, one will
Black heart, black still
Ignore the hate, it's do or die motherfucker, die motherfucker
(This is do or die)
My hate is real, this fire it kills
No going back, it's do or die motherfucker, die motherfucker
Die motherfucker, die
[Breakdown]
I'm fucked up in the head
Pitch black, everything's dead
I'm fucked up in the head
Don't fucking push me, all I see is blood red
I tried to warn you, my demons will eat you alive
Shred you to pieces, one hundred thousand fucking knives
My soul is septic, dripping lead
That's why I'm fucked up in the head
Agh, go
You motherfuckers talk, talk, talk homie
I'll bless your body with some chalk, chalk, chalk
The burning infection, the lethal injection, that'll put you in a coffin, bury you and walk on off into the night
[Final Chorus]
One life, one will
Black heart, black still
No giving in, it's do or die motherfucker, die motherfucker
(This is do or die)
My hate is real, this fire it kills
No quitting now, it's do or die motherfucker, die
