Now we're Anthrax and we take no shit
And we don't care for writing hits
The sound you hear is what we like
I'll steal your pop-tarts like I stole your
Socks!
No man, what's the matter with you?
I'll get it the next time, I mean it

Charlie, beat the beats, the beats you beat
The only thing harder's the smell of my feet
So listen up 'cause you might get dissed
Go drain the lizard or take a
Chair!
Damn, watch the beat!

I'm on your case, I'm in your face
Kick you and your father back in place
Step up sucker, understand
Don't you know,

I'm the man! I'm the man!
I'm so bad I should be in detention!
I'm the man!

Shut up!

We've got real def rhythms and fresh new jams
And ya think we got egos but we're just hams
Scott plays stick ball and likes to skate
Frank is never on time he's always
Sleeping!
"Late!"

Drink the drinks, the drinks they drank
I put my money in the bank
They cut their crack, they offer joints
We don't do drugs, do you get our
Meaning!
"Point!" "Point!" Watch the beat!

I'm on your case, I'm in your face
Kick you and your father back in place
Step up sucker, understand
Don't you know,

I'm the man! I'm the man!
I'm bad! I'm so bad I should be in detention!
I'm the man!

Shut up!

For a heavy metal band raps a different way
We like to different and not cliche
They say rap and metal can never mix
Well all of them can suck our
Sexual organ in the lower abdominal area!
No man, it's "dicks!"

Master!

Fart the farts, the farts he farted
I pick my nose 'cause I'm retarded
Like El Duce says "smell my anal vapor"
And wipe my butt with your
Face!
"Toilet paper!" Yo, watch the beat!

I'm on your case, I'm in your face
Kick you and your father back in place
Step up sucker, understand
Don't you know,

I'm the man! I'm the man!
I'm bad! I'm so bad I should be in detention!
I'm the man!

Shut up!

So, as this rap is winding down
It's plain to see we wear the crown
You know Anthrax is number one
But we don't care, we just want to have
A festival!
"Fun" you stupid idiot!

We are the kings that all shout hell
We're like a diamond that is forever
And will remain the hardest ever

I'm so bad, it's a crime

    Well all of them can suck our..." "DICKS!" "Suck my motherfucking dick!"

    Is wrong, its

    Well all of them can suck our..." "Sexual organ located in the lower abdominal area" "No man, its dick!"

    its as if the uncensored version from the I'm the man single and the extremely explicit version (live in otherwords) have been mixed in together

    Great song tho :D

    1st Rap-Metal song I heard (well, after "walk this way"), but this one is all one band - Anthrax. Could be very interesting if they pursued this line. This song is about how proud they are, but they don't take them selves to seriously.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.

Midnight
Ed Sheeran
“Midnight” is a song about finding a love that is so true that it provides a calming feeling through every storm. Ed Sheeran reflects on his good fortunes in landing someone with such peace and support and speaks of not fearing the dark days because he knows they’ll all end in the safety nets of her arms. “Well, good morning there / What a way to start the day / With everything laid bare,” Ed Sheeran sings in the first verse, enthusiastic to be waking up beside his woman. He apologizes for missing her calls in the second verse and promises to return them because for him, speaking to her is the most important thing. “Well, I get lost inside my head / In this chaos, you’re my calm / And I will find my feet again / ‘Cause еven the worst days of my life will always еnd / At midnight in your arms,” sings Ed Sheeran in the chorus, revelling in his good luck.
