Wrath
Buckcherry Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey, man, do you wanna get a fist so hard?
Do you wanna see who’s in charge?
I’m gonna show you your future.
Hey man, you think you’re strong enough to play this game
It’s gonna burn, like acid rain
You’re gonna need some sutures

I got this need, can’t be broken
And I’m taking you on this ride.
I got this need, to be broken
And I keep all my love inside.

Hey, man, do you study your history?
Are you ready for World War III?
Be straight for me, Father.
Hey man, you think you’re pretty but you never win
Run your mouth when you're with your friends,
By yourself, it's a slaughter

I got this need, to be broken
And I’m taking you on this ride.
I got this need, to be broken
And I keep all my love inside.

Broken

All I wanna do is make a mess of you
I can’t control myself, is this really hell?
I’m doing what is right and now is time to fight
What defines a man, what defines a man
What defines a man

Hey, man, you better build a fucking barricade ?
You’re gonna need it 'cause I’m on my way
I need it more than water.

I got this need, to be broken
And I’m taking you on this ride.
I got this need, to be broken
And I keep all my love inside.

I got this need, to be broken
And I’m taking you on this ride.




I got this need, to be broken
And I keep all my love inside.

The singer ends with a warning to the other person to prepare for their arrival, as barricades will not be enough to stop them.
