Whiplash lyrics

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 fucking mad

A feeling of a hammerhead, you need it oh so bad

Adrenaline starts to flow

You're thrashing all around

Acting like a maniac

Whiplash

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 leather and your spikes

Heads are bobbing all around, it's hot as hell tonight

Adrenaline starts to flow

You're thrashing all around

Acting like a maniac

Whiplash

Here onstage 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 fucking loose

We're gathered here to maim and kill 'cause this is what we choose

Adrenaline starts to flow

You're thrashing all around

Acting like a maniac

Whiplash

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 Metallica

Adrenaline starts to flow

You're thrashing all around

Acting like a maniac
