1. Ain't My Bitch [5:04] (Hetfield, Ulrich)

Head strong, what's wrong?
I've already heard this song
Before you arrived
But now it's time to kiss your ass good-bye

Dragging me down, why you around?
So useless
It ain't my fall, it ain't my call
It ain't my bitch

It ain't my bitch

Down on the sun, down and no fun
Down and out, where the Hell ya been?
Damn it all down, damn it unbound
Damn it all down to Hell again

Stand tall, can't fall
Never even bend at all
Before you arrived
But now it's time to kiss your ass good-bye

Dragging me down, why you around?
So useless
It ain't my fall, it ain't my call
It ain't my bitch

Outta my way
[Guitar Solo]

Outta my way, outta my day
Outta your mind and into mine
Into no one, into not one
Into your step but outta time

Head strong, what's wrong?
I've already heard this song
Before you arrived
But now it's time to kiss your ass good-bye
And now it's time to kiss your ass good-bye

Dragging me down, why you around?
So useless
It ain't my fall, it ain't my call
It ain't my bitch

No way but down, why you around?
No foolin'
It ain't my smile, it ain't my style
It ain't my bitch

No, it ain't mine
Ain't mine
Your time
Your step but outta time
Ain't mine
Your time
Your step but outta time

Dragging me down, why you around?
No foolin'
It aint my fall, it ain't my call

It ain't my
Ooh, bitch
You ain't mine

2. 2 x 4 [5:28] (Hetfield, Ulrich, Hammett)

Got some Hell to pay, I steal your thunder
The joy of violent movement pulls you under
Ooh, bite the bullet, well hard
Yeah, but I die harder, so go too far
Too far

Friction, fusion
Retribution
I can't hear you
Talk to me
I can't hear you
So, talk to me
I can't hear you
Are you talkin' to me?
I can't hear you 
Are you talkin' to me?
Can't hear you 
Time to meet my Lord
I can't hear you 
Talk to two by four

I'm gonna make you, shake you, take you
I'm gonna be the one who breaks you
Put the screws to you, my way
Hey, come on, come on, come and make my day
Make my day

Friction, fusion
Retribution
I can't hear you
Talk to me
I can't hear you
Come talk to me
I can't hear you
Are you talkin' to me?
Ooh, I can't hear you 
Are you talkin' to me?
I can't hear you 
Time to meet my Lord
I can't hear you 
Talk to two by four

Talk to two by four
It don't take no more
Come on
Come on

[Guitar Solo]

Come on
Come on
Talk to two by four

Talk to two by four

[Guitar Solo]

Friction, fusion
Retribution
I'm gonna make you
Talk to me
I'm gonna take you
Ooh, so talk to me
I can't hear you
Are you talkin' to me?
I can't hear you 
You talkin' to me?
I can't hear you 
Time to meet my Lord
I can't hear you 
Talk to
Talk to two by four
She don't take no more

3. The House Jack Built [6:39] (Hetfield, Ulrich, Hammett)

Open my eyes
Just to have them close again
Well on my way
But on my way to where I've been

It swallows me
As it takes me in its fog
I twist away
As I give this world a nod

Open door, so I walk inside
Close my eyes, find my place to hide
And I shake as I take it in
Let the show begin

Open my eyes
Just to have them close once again
Don't want control
As it takes me down and down and down again

Is that the moon?
Or just the light that lights this dead-end street?
Is that you there?
Or just another demon that I meet?

The higher you are
The farther you fall
The longer the walk
The farther you crawl
My body, my temple
This temple, it tilts
Step into the house that Jack built

The higher you are
The farther you fall
The longer the walk
The farther you crawl
My body, my temple
This temple, it tilts
Yes, this is the house that Jack built

[Guitar Solo]

Open door, yes, I walk inside
Swallow me so the pain subsides
And I shake as I take the sin
Let the show begin
Let the show begin
Let the show begin

The higher you are
The farther you fall
The longer the walk
The farther you crawl
My body, my temple
This temple, it tilts
Yes, this is the house that Jack built

The higher you are
The farther you fall
The longer the walk
The farther you crawl
My body, my temple
This temple, it tilts
Yes, I am, I am, I am

Open my eyes
It swallows me
Is that you there?
I twist away
Away
Away
Away

4. Until It Sleeps [4:30] (Hetfield, Ulrich)

So tear me open, pour me out
There's things inside that scream and shout
And the pain still hates me
So hold me
Until it sleeps

Just like the curse, just like the stray
You feed it once, and now it stays
Now it stays

So tear me open, but beware
There's things inside without a care
And the dirt still stains me
So wash me
Until I'm clean

It grips you, so hold me
It stains you, so hold me
It hates you, so hold me
It holds you, so hold me
Until it sleeps
Until it sleeps
Until it sleeps

So tell me why you've chosen me
Don't want your grip
Don't want your greed
Don't want it

I'll tear me open, make you gone
No more can you hurt anyone
And the fear still shakes me
So hold me
Until it sleeps

It grips you, so hold me
It stains you, so hold me
It hates you, so hold me
It holds you, holds you, holds you
Until it sleeps
Until it sleeps
Until it sleeps
Until it sleeps
Until it sleeps

[Guitar Solo]

Don't want it
I don't want it, want it, want it, want it, want it 
No

So tear me open, but beware
There's things inside without a care
And the dirt still stains me
So wash me
'Till I'm clean

I'll tear me open, make you gone
No longer will you hurt anyone
And the hate still shapes me 
So hold me, until it sleeps
Until it sleeps
Until it sleeps
Until it sleeps

5. King Nothing [5:28] (Hetfield, Ulrich, Hammett)

Dig for gold
Dig for fame
You dig to make your name
Are you pacified?

All the wants you waste
All the things you've chased

And it all crashes down
And you break your crown
And you point your finger
But there's no one around
Just want one thing
Just to play the king
But the castle's crumbled
And you're left with just a name
Where's your crown, King Nothing?

Where's your crown?

Hot and cold
Bought and sold
A heart as hard as gold
Yeah, are you satisfied?
Wish I might, wish I may
You wish your life away
Are you pacified?

All the wants you waste
All the things you've chased

And it all crashes down
And you break your crown
And you point your finger
But there's no one around
Just want one thing
Just to play the king
But the castle's crumbled
And you're left with just a name
Where's your crown, King Nothing?

Oh, nothing
Where's your crown?

[Guitar Solo]

I wish I may 
I wish I might
Have this wish I wish tonight
I want that star
I want it now
I want it all and I don't care how

Careful what you wish
Careful what you say
Careful what you wish
You may regret it
Careful what you wish
You just might get it

Then it all crashes down
And you break your crown
And you point your finger
But there's no one around
Just want one thing
Just to play the king
But the castle's crumbled
And you're left with just a name
Where's your crown, King Nothing?

Nothing

No, you're just nothing
Where's your crown, King Nothing?
No, you're just nothing
Absolutely nothing

Off to never-never land

6. Hero Of The Day [4:22] (Hetfield, Ulrich, Hammett)

The window burns to light the way back home
A light that warms no matter where they've gone
They're off to find the hero of the day
But what if they should fall by someone's wicked way?

Still the window burns
Time so slowly turns
Someone there is sighing
Keepers of those flames
Do you feel your name?
Can't you hear your babies crying?

Mama, they try and break me
Still they try and break me

Excuse me while I tend to how I feel
These things return to me that still seem real
Now deservingly, this easy chair
But the rocking stopped by wheels of despair

Don't want your aid
But the fist I've made for years can't hold or feel
No, I'm not all me
So please excuse me
While I tend to how I feel

But now the dreams and waking screams
That ever last the night
So build the wall, behind it crawl
And hide until it's light
So, can you hear your babies crying now?

[Guitar Solo]

Still the window burns
Time so slowly turns
Someone there is sighing
Keepers of those flames
Can't you hear your names?
Can't you hear your babies crying?

But now the dreams and waking screams
That ever last the night
So build the wall, behind it crawl
And hide until it's light
So, can't you hear your babies crying now?

Mama, they try and break me
Mama, they try and break me
Mama, they try and break me
Mama, they try 
Mama, they try 
Mama, they try and break me
Mama, they try and break me
Mama, they try and break me
Mama, they try
Mama, they try

7. Bleeding Me [8:18] (Hetfield, Ulrich, Hammett)

I'm pushing to stay
I'm pushing to stay with something
I'm pushing to stay with something better

Whoa-oh
Whoa-oh
Oh, yeah

I'm sowing the seeds
I'm sowing the seeds I've taken
I'm sowing the seeds I take for granted

This thorn in my side
This thorn in my side is from the tree
This thorn in my side is from the tree I've planted
Ooh, it tears me and I bleed, yeah
And I bleed, oh yeah, yeah

Caught under wheels roll
I take the leech
I'm bleeding me
Can't stop to save my soul
I take the leash that's leading me 
I'm bleeding me
Ooh, I can't take it
Caught under wheels roll
Oh, the bleeding of me
Oh, of me
Oh, the bleeding of me

Caught under wheels roll
I take the leech
I'm bleeding me
Can't stop to save my soul
I take the leash that's leading me 
I'm bleeding me
Ooh, I can't take it
Caught under wheels roll
Oh, the bleeding of me

Oh, the bleeding of me

I am the feast that feeds the beast
I am the blood, I am release
Come make me pure
Bleed me a cure
I'm caught, I'm caught
I'm caught under

Caught under wheels roll
I take the leech
I'm bleeding me
Can't stop to save my soul
I take the leash that's leading me 
I'm bleeding me
Oh, I can't take it
I can't take it
I can't take it
Oh, the bleeding of me

Ooh, come on and bleed me
[Guitar Solo]

I'm digging my way
I'm digging my way to something 
I'm digging my way to something better

I'm pushing to stay
I'm pushing to stay with something
I'm pushing to stay with something better
With something better

8. Cure [4:54] (Hetfield, Ulrich)

He thinks the answer's cold and in his hand
He takes his medicine
The man takes another bullet
He's been fooled again

Uncross your arms
Take and throw 'em to the cure, say
I do believe
Uncross your arms, now
Take 'em to it, say
I do believe
Yeah, I do believe

The lies tempt her and she follows
Again, she lets him in
She must believe to fill the hollow
She's been fooled again

Uncross your arms
Take and throw 'em to the cure, say
I do believe
Uncross your arms, now
Take 'em to it, say
I do believe
Oh, yeah, I do believe
Yeah

Betting on the cure
It must get better than this
Betting on the cure
Yeah, everyone's got to have the sickness
'Cause everyone seems to need the cure
Precious cure

[Guitar Solo]

Betting on the cure
'Cause it must get better than this
Betting on the cure
Yeah, everyone's got to have the sickness
'Cause everyone seems to need the cure
Yeah, precious cure

I do believe...

Betting on the cure
Yeah, it must get better than this
Need to feel secure
Yeah, it's gotta get better than this
This, this, yeah
It must get better than this
Betting on the cure
Yeah, everyone's got to have the sickness
'Cause everyone seems to need the cure

I do believe
I do believe
I do believe

9. Poor Twisted Me [4:00] (Hetfield, Ulrich)

Poor mistreated me
Poor mistreated me
I drown without a sea
Lungs fill with sorrow, lungs fill with misery
Inhaling the deep, dark blue
Whoa, oh, woe is me
Such a burden to be
The poor mistreated me

To finally reach the shore
Survive the storm
Now you're bare and cold
The sea was warm
So warm, you bathe your soul again
Bathe it again and again and again

[Guitar Solo]

Finally reach the shore
Survive the storm
Now you're bare and cold
Yeah, the sea was warm
So warm, you bathe your soul again

Good to see, my friend
Oh, woe is me
Such a burden to be
Oh, poor twisted me
Yeah, yeah, yeah 
Poor twisted me

Oh, no, no, poor twisted me

 
10. Wasting My Hate [3:57] (Hetfield, Ulrich, Hammett)

Yeah

Ain't gonna waste my hate
Ain't gonna waste my hate on you
I think I'll keep it for myself
Ain't gonna give no more
Ain't got the time to help you score
I think it's time you pleased yourself
Yourself

Good day, how do?
And I send a smile to you
Don't waste, waste your breath
And I won't waste my hate on you
Waste my hate on you

Think you're worthy now?
You think enough to even raise the brow
And to laugh and tip that two-pronged crown

Well, I see my hands, I see my feet
I feel that blood that pumps in beat
But where the Hell's my mind going now?
Get gone now

Good day, how do?
And I send a smile to you
Don't waste, waste your breath
And I won't waste my hate on you
Waste my hate on you
Think I'll keep it for myself

Ain't gonna waste my hate
But I'm so greedy when they say
Better to give than to receive

Ain't gonna waste my hate
No, no, ain't got time to waste my hate on you
I think I'll keep it all for myself
For myself

Good day, how do?
And I send a smile to you
Don't waste, waste your breath
And I won't waste my hate on you
Waste my hate on you
Think I'll keep if for myself

Hate

11. Mama Said [5:19] (Hetfield, Ulrich)

Let my heart go
Let your son grow
Mama, let my heart go
Or let this heart be still
Yeah, still

Rebel my new last name
Wild blood in my veins
Apron strings around my neck
The mark that still remains
Left home at an early age
Of what I heard was wrong
I never asked forgiveness
But what is said is done

Let my heart go
Let your son grow
Mama, let my heart go
Or let this heart be still

Never I ask of you
But never I gave
But you gave me your emptiness
And I take to my grave
Never I ask of you
But never I gave
But you gave me your emptiness
And I take to my grave
So, let this heart be still

Mama, now I'm coming home
I'm not all you wished of me
A Mother's love for her son
Unspoken, help me be
Oh yeah, I took your love for granted
And all the things you said to me
I need your arms to welcome me
But a cold stone's all I see

Let my heart go
Let your son grow
Mama, let my heart go
Or let this heart be still

Let my heart go
Mama, let my heart go
You never let my heart go
So, let this heart be still

Never I ask of you
But never I gave
But you gave me your emptiness
And I take to my grave
Never I ask of you
But never I gave
But you gave me your emptiness
And I take to my grave
So, let this heart be still

12. Thorn Within [5:51] (Hetfield, Ulrich, Hammett)

I am the secret
I am the sin
I am your guilty
And I
I am the thorn within

Forgive me, Father
For I have sinned
Find me guilty when true guilt is from within
So point your fingers
Point right at me
For I am shadows and will follow you
One and the same are we

I am the secret
I am the sin
I am your guilty
And I
I am the thorn within

I do your time
I take your fall
I'm branded guilty
For us all

[Guitar Solo]

So point your fingers
Point right at me
For I am shadows and will follow you
One and the same are we

I am your secret
I am your sin
I am your guilty
And I
I am the thorn within

I am the thorn within
I am the thorn within
I am the thorn within
I am the thorn within
I am the thorn within

13. Ronnie [5:17] (Hetfield, Ulrich)

Then streets of red, red I'm afraid
There's no confetti, no parade
Nothing happens in this boring place
But oh, my God, how it all did change
Now they all pray
Blood stain, wash away

He said, "lost my way"
This bloody day
Lost my way
I heard him, he said, "lost my way"
This bloody day
Lost my way
All things wash away
But blood stained the Sun red today

I always said, something wrong
With little strange Ronnie Long
Never laughed, never smiled
Talked alone for miles and miles and miles

Gallow calls, son I say
Keep your smile, and laugh all day
Think once again, in this boring place
For little boys, how they soon change
Now they all pray
Blood stain, wash away

He said, "lost my way"
This bloody day
Lost my way
Yeah, I heard him, he said, "lost my way"
This bloody day
Lost my way
All things wash away
But blood stained the Sun red today

Yeah, well all the green things died
When Ronnie moved to this place
He said, "Don't you dare ask why I'm cursed to wear this face"

Now we all know why the children called him Ronnie Frown
When he pulled that gun from his pocket 
They'd all fall down, down, down

He said, "lost my way"
This bloody day
Lost my way
Yeah, yeah, I heard him, he screamed, "lost my way"
This bloody day
Lost my way
All things wash away
But blood stained the Sun red today

That's right

All things wash away
They all fall down
But blood stained the Sun today

[Guitar Solo]

All things wash away
And they all fall down
But blood stained the Sun today

14. The Outlaw Torn [9:52] (Hetfield, Ulrich)

I ride the dirt, I ride the tide
For you
I search the outside, search inside
For you

To take back what you left me
I know I'll always burn to be
The one who seeks so I may find
And now I wait my whole lifetime

I'm outlaw of torn

I'm outlaw of torn
And I'm torn

So, on I wait my whole lifetime
For you
So, on I wait my whole lifetime
For you

The more I search, the more my need
For you
The more I bless, the more I bleed
For you

You make me smash the clock and feel
I'd rather die behind the wheel
Time was never on my side
So, on I wait my whole lifetime

I'm outlaw of torn
I'm outlaw of torn
I'm outlaw of torn
And I'm torn

Hear me
And if close my mind in fear
Please pry it open
See me
And if my face becomes sincere
Beware
Hold me
And when I start to come undone
Stitch me together
Save me
And when you see me strut
Remind me of what left this outlaw torn

[Guitar Solo]

Hear me
And if close my mind in fear
Please pry it open
See me
And if my face becomes sincere
Beware
Hold me
And when I start to come undone
Stitch me together
Save me
And when you see me strut
Remind me of what left this outlaw torn
