The term “godsmack” is a colloquialism for heroin overdose; fitting, given the lyrical content of the song and most of the album.
There’s speculation that the band Godsmack got their name from this song, but the band has denied this.
[Verse 1]
Care not for the men who wonder
Straw that broke your back, you're under
Cast all them aside who care
Empty eyes and dead-end stare
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Don't you know that none are blind
To the lie, and you think I don't find
What you hide?
[Chorus]
What in God's name have you done?
Stick your arm for some real fun
[Verse 2]
For the horse you've grown much fonder
Than for me, that I don't ponder
As the hair of one who bit you
Smiling, bite your own self, too
[Pre-Chorus 2]
And I think that you're not blind
To the ones you left behind
I'll be here
[Chorus]
What in God's name have you done?
Stick your arm for some real fun
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
So be yearning all your life
Twisting, turning like a knife
[Pre-Chorus 3]
Now you know the reasons why
Can't get high, or you will die
Or you'll die
[Chorus]
What in God's name have you done?
Stick your arm for some real fun
So your sickness weighs a ton
And God's name is smack for some
[Outro]
Yeah!
