Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Late at night, all systems go
You've come to see the show
We do our 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]
Adrenaline starts to flow
You're thrashing all around
Acting like a maniac
Whiplash
[Verse 2]
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
With your leathers and your spikes
Heads are bobbing all around
It's hot as hell tonight
[Chorus]
Adrenaline starts to flow
You're thrashing all around
Acting like a maniac
Whiplash
[Verse 3]
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
'Cause this is what we choose
[Chorus]
Adrenaline starts to flow
You're thrashing all around
Acting like a maniac
[Chorus]
Here we go
[Verse 4]
Whiplash
[Verse 5]
The show is through, the metal's gone
It's time to hit the road
Another town, another gig
Again we will explode
Hotel rooms and motorways
This life out here is raw
But we'll never stop, we'll never quit
'Cause we're Metallica
[Chorus]
Adrenaline starts to flow
You're thrashing all around
Acting like a maniac
Written by: James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich
