[Intro] [James Hetfield]
Adrenaline starts to flow
Thrashing all around
Acting like a maniac
Whiplash!

Wake up, man!
We ain't fucking done yet!
This one is entitled "Whiplash"

One, two
One, two, three, fight

Whiplash!
Yeah!

[Verse 1] [James Hetfield]
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 fucking mad
A feeling of a hammerhead, you need it, oh, so bad

[Chorus] [James Hetfield]
Adrenaline starts to flow
Thrashing all around
Acting like a maniac
Whiplash!
[Verse 2] [James Hetfield]
Bang your head against the stage like you never did before
Make it ring, make it bleed, make it fucking sore
In a frenzied madness with your leathers and your spikes
Heads are bobbing around, it's hot as fuck

[Chorus] [James Hetfield]
Adrenaline starts to flow
Thrashing all around
Acting like a maniac
Whiplash!
Whiplash, man!
Yeah!

[Verse 3] [Jason Newsted]
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 fucking loose
We're gathered here to maim and kill, this is what we choose

[Chorus] [Jason Newsted]
Adrenaline starts to flow
Thrashing all around
Acting like a maniac
Yeah... Hit me!
[Bridge] [Jason Newsted]
Yeah, here we go!

[Guitar solo] [James Hetfield]
Whiplash!

[Verse 4] [James Hetfield]
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
We never stop, we never quit, because you're Metallica

[Chorus] [James Hetfield]
Adrenaline starts to flow
Thrashing all around
Acting like a maniac

Hey!
[Crowd takes over the Hey's]

Yeah!
Fuck yeah, man
I hope you had some fun
We did
We'll see you around
Fuck yeah
