Whiplash

[Spoken Intro: Cliff Burton]
"We do what we wanna do, you know?
If they consider that selling out
Then whatever"

[Spoken: James Hetfield]
"There's a lot of people think
You sold out just because
You're on a major label
And are very popular"

[Burton]
"Or maybe you don't play
A thousand miles an hour
The whole time, or, you know"

[Hetfield]
"I mean, we just...
We'd be doing the same thing
If we were still on, you know
An independent label"

[Burton]
"We're not trying to be
Something big and fancy, you know
It's just us doing what we do"

[Intro]
Right!

[Verse 1]
Late at night, all systems go
You've come to see the show
We do our best, you're the rest
You make it real, you know
There is a feeling deep inside
That drives you fuckin' mad
A feeling of a hammerhead
You need it, oh, so bad

[Chorus]
Adrenaline then starts to flow
You're thrashing all around
You're acting like a maniac
Whiplash

[Verse 2]
Bang your head against the stage
Like you never did before
Make it ring, make it bleed
Make it really sore
In a frenzied madness
With your leathers and your spikes
Heads are bobbing all around
It's hot as hell tonight

[Chorus]
Adrenaline then starts to flow
You're thrashing all around
You're acting like a maniac
Whiplash

[Verse 3]
Here on stage, the Marshall noise
Is piercing through your ears
It kicks your ass, kicks your face
Exploding feeling nears
Now's the time to let it rip
To let it fuckin' loose
We're gathered here to maim and kill
'Cause this is what we choose

[Chorus]
Adrenaline then starts to flow
You're thrashing all around
You're acting like a maniac
Whiplash

[Refrain]
Right!

Here we go!

[Solo]

[Bridge]
Whiplash

[Verse 4]
The show is through, the metal's gone
It's time to hit the road
Another town, another gig
Again, we will explode
Hotel rooms and motorways
Life out here is raw
But we'll never stop
We'll never quit
'Cause we're Crematorium

[Chorus]
Adrenaline then starts to flow
You're thrashing all around
You're acting like a maniac

[Outro]
Right
Left
Right
Right...
