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 is a feeling deep inside that drives you fucking mad 
A feeling of a hammerhead, you need it oh so bad 

Adrenaline starts to flow 
You're thrashing all around 
Acting like a maniac 
Whiplash 

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 leather and your spikes 
Heads are bobbing all around, it's hot as hell tonight 

Adrenaline starts to flow 
You're thrashing all around 
Acting like a maniac 
Whiplash 

Here onstage 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 fucking loose 
We're gathered here to be with you 'cause this is what we choose 

Adrenaline starts to flow 
You're thrashing all around 
Acting like a maniac 
Whiplash 

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, life out here is raw 
But we'll never stop, we'll never quit, 'cause we're Metallica 

Adrenaline starts to flow 
You're thrashing all around 
Acting like a maniac
