Attitude
Metallica [1997 - ReLoad] Lyrics

One, two, three, four
Counting off the start of the song

Suppose I say I'm never satisfied
What if I told you that I can never be fully content?

Suppose I say You cut some root to make the tree survive
What if I told you that sometimes you have to make difficult choices to keep something alive?

Just let me kill you for a while Just let me kill you for a smile Just let me kill you once I'm oh so bored to death
Allow me to have control over you for a short time, just for the enjoyment of asserting my power and to relieve boredom

Oh, I hunger I hunger I eat
I crave power and control over others, and will do whatever necessary to obtain it

Born into attitude Asleep at the wheel
From birth, we are conditioned to have a certain mindset, but we are also complacent and unaware of our surroundings

Throw all your bullets in the fire And run like hell Why cure the fever? What ever happened to sweat?
Get rid of your weapons and flee from danger, we should endure hardship and work through our troubles instead of seeking an easy solution

Suppose I say The vultures smile at me Suppose I say I've sent them down and they plan to pick you clean
What if I told you that I have enemies who are out to get you and will take advantage of any sign of weakness?

And satisfaction this way comes And satisfaction this way comes And satisfaction's here and gone, gone yeah gone again
A sense of pleasure or accomplishment is fleeting and doesn't last long

Born into attitude Asleep at the wheel Throw all your bullets in the fire and stand there
Just because we are conditioned to think and act a certain way, doesn't mean we can't change and face our fears without a weapon

Born into attitude Twist mother tongue Throw all your bullets in the fire And run like hell Why cure the fever, what ever happened to sweat?
We are born with specific attitudes and beliefs, but we can choose to break free and handle problems on our own without taking the easy way out

Just let me kill you for a while Just let me kill you for a smile Just let me kill you once for me I'm bored to death
Allow me to exert control over you for a brief period of time, just for the enjoyment of dominance and to relieve boredom

And satisfaction this way comes And satisfaction this way comes And satisfactions here and gone, gone, gone again
A feeling of pleasure or success may come, but it is brief and temporary

Yeah, I hunger Oh, I hunger I eat
I yearn for power and authority over others, and will do whatever necessary to obtain it

Born into attitude Asleep at the wheel Throw all your bullets in the fire And stand there
We are born with preconceived notions and mentalities, but we can choose to break free and face our problems head-on without relying on weapons

Born into attitude Twist mother tongue Throwing all your bullets in the fire And run like hell Why cure the fever, what ever happened to sweat?
We are raised with certain beliefs and ideals, but we can choose to change our attitudes and battle through difficulties instead of surrendering and running away
