[Verse 1]
I'm mean, and I'm dirty, like none you've ever seen
Bad habits drip like honey, no tongue can lick me clean, yeah
I'm not of royal blood, I've never been discreet
Better lock up your daughters, we're comin' to your town
We're here for the slaughter, kick you when you're down
Kick you when you're down
[Chorus]
We're not for the innocent
We're not for the innocent
Oh, we're not for the innocent
Let the beast run wild, yeah
[Verse 2]
I've been damned, I've been cursed, I've been guilty and abused
I spit the hangman in his face and hung him with his noose, yeah
Habitual threat, I got you in my claws
Gonna tan your hide, rip the flesh off your bones
Look me in the eye, and you're gonna turn to stone
You're gonna turn to stone
[Chorus]
We're not for the innocent
Oh, we're not for the innocent
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah, we're not for the innocent
Let the beast run wild
[Guitar solo]
[Bridge]
Better lock up your daughters, we're comin' to your town
Better pray we're not around
[Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh
Oh yeah, oh, oh, oh
Yeah yeah yeah, oh, oh, oh
Let the beast run wild
Not for the innocent
Oh no, not for, not for the innocent, yeah
Not for the innocent
Let the beast run wild
Oh, oh, oh
Yeah yeah yeah, oh, oh, oh
Yeah yeah yeah, oh, oh, oh
