Whiplash (Live at Day On the Green, Oakland, CA, 10/12/91)

[Intro: James Hetfield]

Sing along

Adrenaline starts to flow

Thrashing all around

Acting like a maniac

Whiplash

Hey, what's the fucking matter? You guys tired already?

We got fucking loads more, man

We don't get to play this shit everyday, you know?

So let's see some action out there

This one here's from the album, Kill 'Em All, if you've fucking got it

Sing along, it's "Whiplash"

One, two, eight, twelve, seven and a half

Come on, yeah

Yeah

Wake up, goddammit

Ah-haha

[Verse 1: James Hetfield]

Late at night, all systems go, you've come to see the show

You're the best, you're the rest, you make it real, you know

There's a feeling deep inside that drives you fuckin' mad

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

[Chorus: James Hetfield]

Adrenaline starts to flow

Thrashing all around

Acting like a maniac

Whiplash

Whiplash, yeah

Yeah

[Verse 2: James Hetfield]

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, leathers and your spikes

Heads are bobbing all around, it's hot as— fuck

[Chorus: James Hetfield]

Adrenaline starts to flow

Thrashing all around

Acting like a maniac, what?

Whiplash

Yeah, whiplash

Yeah

[Verse 3: Jason Newsted, James Hetfield & Jason Newsted]

Here on stage, 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 fuckin' loose

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

[Chorus: Jason Newsted & James Hetfield]

Adrenaline starts to flow (Oh my god)

Thrashing all around

Acting like a maniac

Yeah, (Blow me), ooh, I'm sorry

[Interlude: Jason Newsted]

Here we go

[Guitar Solo: Jason Newsted]

Yeah, whiplash

[Verse 4: James Hetfield]

Show is through, metal's gone, time to hit the road

Another town, another gig, again, we will explode

Hotel rooms and motorways, life out here is raw

We never stop, we never quit, 'cause you're Metallica

[Chorus: James Hetfield]

Adrenaline starts to flow

Thrashing all around

Acting like a maniac

[Outro: James Hetfield]

Hey

Oh, fuck yeah

Ooh, hey-hey

Thanks, you fuckin' nuts, we'll see you, thank you
