[Intro: James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich, Crowd Member]
Okay, what is this? This is a song that Lars likes
'Cause it's, it's got really good vocals in it
You gonna sing it?
That's when we need to clear the house I'll sing it
Okay, alright
Do it!
Yeah, do it! I dare you!
Now's your chance man
These are the most forgiveable people

[Verse 1]
You see me now, a veteran
Of a thousand psychic wars
I’ve been living on the edge so long
Where the winds of limbo roar
And I’m young enough to look at
And far too old to see
All the scars are on the inside
Not sure that there’s anything left to me

[Chorus]
Don't let these shakеs go on
It's time we had a break from it
Timе we had some leave
We’ve been living in the flames
We’ve been eating up our brains
Oh, please, don't let these shakes go on

[Verse 2]
You ask me why I’m weary
Why I can’t speak to you
You blame me for my silence
It’s time I changed and grew
But the war’s still going on, girl
And there’s no end that I know
And I can’t say if we’re ever
I can't say if we're ever gonna be free

[Chorus]
Don't let these shakes go on
Time we had a break from it
Time we had some leave
We've been living in the flames
We've been eating out our brains
Oh, please, don't let these shakes go on

[Verse 3]
You see me now, a veteran
Of a thousand psychic wars
My energy’s spent at last
My armor is destroyed
I have used up all my weapons
And I’m helpless and bereaved
Wounds are all I’m made of
Did I hear them say this is victory?

[Chorus]
Don't let these shakes go on
Time we had a break from it
Time we had some leave
We've been living in the flames
We've been eating out our brains
Oh, please, don't let these shakes go on

[Outro]
Thank you
That one's a lot louder
I like it
Let's keep this one
