[Verse 1]
Lashing out the action, returning the reaction
Weak  are ripped and torn away
Hypnotizing  power, crushing all that cower
Battery is here to stay

[Chorus]
Smashing through the boundaries, lunacy has found me
Cannot  stop the battery
Pounding  out aggression, turn into obsession
Cannot kill the battery
Damn  right
Cannot kill the family, battery is found in me
Battery
Battery

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 2]
Crushing  all deceivers, mashing non-believers
Never-ending potency
Hungry violence-seeker, feeding off the weaker
Breeding on insanity

[Chorus]
Smashing through the boundaries, lunacy has found me
Cannot stop the battery
Pounding out aggression, turn into obsession
Cannot kill the battery
Hell yeah
Cannot kill the family, battery is found in me
Ooh, battery
Battery
[Post-Chorus]
Are you alive?
How does it feel to be alive?
Show me

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
Circle of destruction, hammer comes crushing
Powerhouse of energy
Whipping up a fury, dominating flurry
We create the battery

[Chorus]
Smashing through the boundaries, lunacy has found me
Cannot stop the battery
Pounding out aggression, turn into obsession
Cannot kill the battery
Fuckin' A right!
Cannot kill the family, battery is found in me
Ooh, battery
Battery
Battery
Battery
Ooh yeah
[Outro]
Thank you, friends, yeah!
Thank for comin' out here, man
You make us feel good here
San Francisco Symphony, man
Let's hear it, baby, yeah!
Maestro Michael Kamen at the helm, yeah!
