Only
Everything is perfect
Everything is sick, that's it
You can't tell me to stop it
You can't tell me not to quit, that's it
Revolve around yourself
It's you and no one else
Hard for me to stay
Swinging moods that change
From calmness to deranged
Unpredictable, unpredictable
You would see if
Only
You hadn't taken things out of my hands
Only
You never wanted to understand
Clashing ways to live here
Compromise for me
I'm at both ends of the spectrum
You're somewhere in the between
Ah, come clean
Revolve around yourself
It's you and no one else
Hard for me to stay
Swinging moods that change
From calmness to deranged
Unpredictable, unpredictable
You would see if
Only
You hadn't taken things out of my hands
Only
You never wanted to understand
Only
You hadn't taken things out of my hands
Only
You never wanted to understand
Only
You hadn't taken things out of my hands
Only
You never wanted to understand
Crucified, terrified, sacrifice, my whole life
My whole life, my whole life, my whole life
My whole life
If only...
I can't contain myself
I can't contain myself
I just can't take myself
Everything is sick, that's it
You can't tell me to stop it
You can't tell me not to quit, that's it
It's you and no one else
Hard for me to stay
Swinging moods that change
From calmness to deranged
Unpredictable, unpredictable
Only
You hadn't taken things out of my hands
Only
You never wanted to understand
Compromise for me
I'm at both ends of the spectrum
You're somewhere in the between
Ah, come clean
It's you and no one else
Hard for me to stay
Swinging moods that change
From calmness to deranged
Unpredictable, unpredictable
Only
You hadn't taken things out of my hands
Only
You never wanted to understand
Only
You hadn't taken things out of my hands
Only
You never wanted to understand
Only
You hadn't taken things out of my hands
Only
You never wanted to understand
My whole life, my whole life, my whole life
If only...
I can't contain myself
I can't contain myself
I just can't take myself

This song is actually about a dis functional marriage. When Scott Ian wrote the songs on this album he was going through a rough divorce.
first comment on this awesome song!! it sounds like cobeing intervened to stop an addiction "i can't contain myself." "You hadn't taken things out of my hands Only You never wanted to understand"
James Hetfield once said that this was "The perfect song" and i think i agree with him
The solo in this song is freakin amazing. I cant think of any change on that solo that would make it any better. Simply perfect.
i remember when this came out i couldnt believe this was anthrax.... they were alot better with bush than those other singers they had
Those other singers they had... Joey freaking Belladonna was just another singer to you? Sure, this song is amazing and one of my favorites but overall Joey was FAR superior to John.
