Jason, you're too fucking metal man
Too metal for your own good
You guys want some more don't ya
we're just getting warmed up now man
how about some more old shit from kill em all eh
you don't mind if we speed it up some huh?
So, we need to see some action out there if you fucking don't know by now
makes us feel real fucking good
so, uh, get your dancing shoes on.
you know the words follow me motherfucker

Adrenaline starts to flow
thrashing all around
Acting like a maniac
(Whiplash)

hey man, I need to see some action out there
come on you pussies!
yeah, you guessed it, it's whiplash
one two four three two and a half

Late at night all systems go
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 fuckin' mad
A feeling of a hammerhead
You need it oh so bad

Adrenaline starts to flow
thrashing all around
Acting like a maniac
(Whiplash) yeah whiplash

Bang your head against the stage
Like you never did before
Make it ring, make it bleed
Make it fucking sore
In a frenzied madness
With your leather and your spikes
Heads are bobbing all around
It is hot as hell tonight

Adrenaline starts to flow
thrashing all around
Acting like a maniac
what is it? (Whiplash )
it's fucking whiplash

Here on the stage the Marshall noise
Is piercing through your ears
It kicks your ass kick your face
Exploding feeling nears
Now is the time to let it rip
To let it fuckin' loose
We are gathered here to maim and kill
'Cause this is what we choose

Adrenaline starts to flow
thrashing all around
Acting like a maniac
(Whiplash) yeah, give it to me one time

hey hey hey (hey hey hey hey) yeah, here we go

yeah whiplash. get it and fuck em up

The show is through the metal is gone
It is time to hit the road
Another town, another gig
Again we will explode
Hotel rooms and motorways
Life out here is raw
But we will never stop we will never quit

'Cause you're Metallica

Adrenaline starts to flow
You're thrashing all around
Acting like a maniac

hey hey (hey hey hey hey hey)
yeah

thank you Mexico city, we'll see you around
good night from Metallica
thank you!

    I can't remember where I heard this, but I think that Hetfield said that the "thrashing all around" in this song is about being at the dentist. He said that that kind of influenced the previous tracks name ((Anesthesia)Pulling Teeth)

    idk if it's true, but kid of comical imo
