Let Me Hear You Scream
Ozzy Osbourne Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Let me hear you scream

I'm black and bruised, beat up but still I take the blows
Cause all I need is blood and sweat and skin and bones
I'll take this rage, rattle your cage, nobody said it's easy
It's do or die, only the strong survive, get ready for the last stand
Get ready, I'm your hangman
Let me hear you scream like you want it
Let me hear you yell like you mean it
If you gotta, go down
Go loud
Go strong
Go proud
Go on
Go hard or go home
Let me hear you (Let me hear you)
Let me hear you (Let me hear you)
Let me hear you scream

I'll pull you up and push you right back in your place
I'll take you down and wipe that smile right off your face
I'll watch you break, you're mine to take, don't blink, you just might miss it
It's all or nothing, nowhere left to run, are you ready for the last fight?
Get ready with the war cry

Let me hear you scream like you want it
Let me hear you yell like you mean it
If you gotta, go down
Go loud
Go strong
Go proud
Go on
Go hard or go home
Let me hear you (Let me hear you)
Let me hear you (Let me hear you)
Let me hear you scream

Let me hear you scream like you want it
Let me hear you yell like you mean it
If you gotta, go down
Go loud
Go strong
Go proud
Go on
Go hard or go home

Let me hear you scream like you want it
Let me hear you yell like you mean it
If you gotta, go down
Go loud
Go strong
Go proud
Go on
Go hard or go home
Let me hear you (Let me hear you)




Let me hear you (Let me hear you)
Let me hear you scream

This man was 60 years old when he recorded this. You can do anything you want.
