Whiplash
Metallica Lyrics

Jason, you're too fucking metal man
You're a hardcore metal enthusiast, Jason

Too metal for your own good
You're so into metal that it may be detrimental to your well-being

You guys want some more don't ya
You're enjoying the music and want more

we're just getting warmed up now man
The band is just getting started and still has more to offer

how about some more old shit from kill em all eh
How about some classic songs from our first album, Kill 'Em All?

you don't mind if we speed it up some huh?
Is it alright if we play faster?

So, we need to see some action out there if you fucking don't know by now
We want to see some energetic movement from the crowd

makes us feel real fucking good
Seeing the crowd lively and moving feels great for the band

so, uh, get your dancing shoes on.
Get ready to dance!

you know the words follow me motherfucker
Sing along with me, swear words included

Adrenaline starts to flow
The excitement and energy is kicking in

thrashing all around
Unpredictable, wild movements in response to the music

Acting like a maniac
Behaving erratically and crazily due to the music

(Whiplash)
This is the song we're playing

hey man, I need to see some action out there
We want the audience to be energetic and moving

come on you pussies!
Encouraging the crowd to be more energetic

yeah, you guessed it, it's whiplash
The song we're playing is indeed 'Whiplash'

one two four three two and a half
Countdown to the next part of the song

Late at night all systems go
Late at night, the band is ready to perform

come to see the show
The audience has come to see them perform

We do our best, you're the rest
The band is giving their best, but the crowd makes it even better

You make it real you know
The crowd's energy and enthusiasm makes the show true and worthwhile

There is a feeling deep inside
A strong emotion is present

That drives you fuckin' mad
That makes you crazy and wild

A feeling of a hammerhead
A sensation of being hit hard like with a hammer

You need it oh so bad
It's a craving that you just have to fulfill

Bang your head against the stage
Banging your head in time to the music

Like you never did before
Doing it with even more intensity and enthusiasm than before

Make it ring, make it bleed
Make the music loud, intense and powerful

Make it fucking sore
Make the experience so intense that it hurts

In a frenzied madness
In an intense state of craziness

With your leather and your spikes
Dressed head to toe in leather and spike-covered accessories

Heads are bobbing all around
People are moving to the music

It is hot as hell tonight
It's very hot and intense in here tonight

Here on the stage the Marshall noise
The loud, heavy sound of Marshall amplifiers on stage

Is piercing through your ears
The sound is being transmitted very loudly and clearly into your ears

It kicks your ass kick your face
The sound hits you hard, metaphorically kicking your ass and face

Exploding feeling nears
An intense feeling is coming closer

Now is the time to let it rip
It's time to really let loose and express oneself

To let it fuckin' loose
To unleash everything you've got

We are gathered here to maim and kill
We're here to play as hard and intense as we possibly can

'Cause this is what we choose
This is the lifestyle and music we've chosen

The show is through the metal is gone
The concert is over, the heavy metal atmosphere is gone

It is time to hit the road
It's time to pack up and leave for the next show

Another town, another gig
Moving onto the next stop on the tour

Again we will explode
Once more, the band will play with intensity and power

Hotel rooms and motorways
The lifestyle of a touring band, including staying in hotels and traveling the highways

Life out here is raw
The touring life is tough and intense

But we will never stop we will never quit
We won't give up or slow down, we'll keep playing hard and true

'Cause you're Metallica
This is who we are, this is our brand

hey hey (hey hey hey hey hey)
Making some noise and hype as the song comes to a close

thank you Mexico city, we'll see you around
Grateful to the audience and saying goodbye

good night from Metallica
The end of the show and a goodbye from the band

thank you!
Expressing appreciation to the audience
