Suppose I say “You cut some root to make the tree survive”
Just let me kill you for a smile
Just let me kill you once
I’m oh so bored to death
I hunger
I eat
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 “I’ve sent them down and they plan to pick you clean”
And satisfaction this way comes
And satisfaction’s here and gone, gone
Gone again
I hunger
I eat
Asleep at the wheel
Throw all your bullets in the fire
And stand there
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 smile
Just let me kill you once for me
I’m bored to death
And satisfaction this way comes
And satisfaction’s here and gone, gone
Gone again
I hunger
I eat
Asleep at the wheel
Throw all your bullets in the fire
And stand there
Twist mother tongue
Throwing all your bullets in the fire
And run like hell
Why cure the fever?
Whatever happened to sweat?

I dedicate this song to my sis and her bitchy attitude.

yeah its saying theres nothing wrong with doing something rebelious for a bit of fun

I thought it was just some filler, but it's not! Very uderated song! Good groove too!

a guy killing to satisfy himself. "Let me kill you for a smile" He's hungry so he eats....he kills so he'll be satisfied

This song is the most awesome fucking thing ever

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.
great song...something you just wanna stand and bang your head to.

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".

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?
