Attitude Lyrics

Suppose I say “I’m never satisfied”
Suppose I say “You cut some root to make the tree survive”

Just let me kill you for a while
Just let me kill you for a smile
Just let me kill you once
I’m oh so bored to death

I hunger
I hunger
I eat

Born into attitude
Asleep at the wheel
Throw all your bullets in the fire
And run like hell
Why cure the fever?
Whatever happened to sweat?

Suppose I say “The vultures smile at me”
Suppose I say “I’ve sent them down and they plan to pick you clean”

And satisfaction this way comes
And satisfaction this way comes
And satisfaction’s here and gone, gone
Gone again

I hunger
I hunger
I eat

Born into attitude
Asleep at the wheel
Throw all your bullets in the fire
And stand there

Born into attitude
Twist mother tongue
Throw all your bullets in the fire
And run like hell
Why cure the fever?
Whatever happened to sweat?

Just let me kill you for a while
Just let me kill you for a smile
Just let me kill you once for me
I’m bored to death

And satisfaction this way comes
And satisfaction this way comes
And satisfaction’s here and gone, gone
Gone again

I hunger
I hunger
I eat

Born into attitude
Asleep at the wheel
Throw all your bullets in the fire
And stand there

Born into attitude
Twist mother tongue
Throwing all your bullets in the fire
And run like hell
Why cure the fever?
Whatever happened to sweat?

I think this song is about the youth today being totally defiant. We're "Born into Attitude."

is it just me or is there some major rush influence in the pre chorus bit.

I originally just thouht this was typical "new Metallica" filler, but I was wrong. This little gem honestly kicks ass. It is headbangable and great. In my opinion, this is one of the most underated songs from them, esp. from the thrash-only fans.

some parts of the lyrics are wrong.

it's, "just let me kill you once, im oh, so bored to death" and, "why cure the fever, what ever happened to sweat".

@METALFANATIK101 Six years later, and it's finally been fixed. ;)

this song is definitly about killing for pleasure "suppose i say the vultures smile at me" he has been doing this for some time now but what about the bit about throwing your bullets in a fire?
