AMERICAN RIPPER

I WAS BORN FEET FIRST
ON A FRIDAY NIGHT
A MOUTH FULL OF FILTH
AND READY TO FIGHT
MEANNESS COURSING THROUGH MY VEINS
DRUGGED UP WITH A BROKEN BRAIN
NOTHING STANDING IN MY WAY
THRASHING TILL THE BREAK OF DAY

RUNNING FROM THE LAW
A PARTY IN FULL FLIGHT
DRINKING UNTIL DAWN
A NEW GIRL EVERY NIGHT
METAL COURSING THROUGH MY VEINS
ON THE ROAD AND TAKE THE STAGE
I'M RADIOACTIVE DECAY
THRASHING LIKE A BIRD OF PREY

I'M AN AMERICAN RIPPER BORN AND BRED
AMERICAN RIPPER TILL I'M DEAD
AMERICAN RIPPER CAN'T YOU SEE
AN AMERICAN RIPPER IS ALL I'LL BE

I'M AN AMERICAN RIPPER THOROUGHBRED
AMERICAN RIPPER'S WHAT I SAID
AMERICAN RIPPER CAN'T YOU SEE
THE AMERICAN RIPPER TEARS THROUGH ME


I SWEAR I AM REBORN
I KNOW JUST WHAT'S AT STAKE
ALL THE SKIN THATS TORN
WITH EVERY SONG I MAKE
BODIES THRASHING ALL AROUND
HEAD BANGING TO THE HEAVY SOUND
THERE'S NO WAY THEY CAN CATCH ME
THERE IS NO WAY THEY WILL CAGE ME

HISTORY WILL TELL
THE STORY WILL BE TAUGHT
HOW I ROSE FROM HELL
AND THE METAL THAT I BROUGHT
POWER THROUGH THE GOLDEN GATES
DEVOUR ALL THE FEAR AND HATE
CRUSHING ALL THAT STAND BEFORE ME
FLUSHING DOWN THE SHIT BENEATH ME

I'M AN AMERICAN RIPPER BORN AND BRED
AMERICAN RIPPER TILL I'M DEAD
AMERICAN RIPPER CAN'T YOU SEE
AN AMERICAN RIPPER IS ALL I'LL BE

I'M AN AMERICAN RIPPER THOROUGHBRED
AMERICAN RIPPER'S WHAT I SAID
AMERICAN RIPPER CAN'T YOU SEE
THE AMERICAN RIPPER TEARS THROUGH ME


WHEN THE THRASH IS ON
IS WHEN I FEEL ALIVE
BORN AS SATANS SON
AND IT FEELS SO RIGHT
ADRENALINE RUSHING THROUGH MY VEINS
STRUNGOUT WITH A BROKEN BRAIN
NOTHING STANDING IN MY WAY
THRASHING FOR ANOTHER DAY

I WAS BORN TO ROCK
I WAS BUILT FOR SPEED
PUT THE WORLD IN SHOCK
GIVE YOU WHAT YOU NEED
PLAY IT FASTER PLAY IT HARD
KICK YOUR ASS AND LEAVE YOU SCARRED
EVERY TIME YOU HEAR MY NAME
KNOW THAT HEAVY METALS IS MY GAME

I'M AN AMERICAN RIPPER BORN AND BRED
AMERICAN RIPPER TILL I'M DEAD
AMERICAN RIPPER CAN'T YOU SEE
AN AMERICAN RIPPER IS ALL I'LL BE

AN AMERICAN RIPPER THOROUGHBRED
AMERICAN RIPPER'S WHAT I SAID
AMERICAN RIPPER CAN'T YOU SEE
THE AMERICAN RIPPER TEARS THROUGH ME

I'M AN AMERICAN RIPPER
AMERICAN RIPPER
AMERICAN RIPPER
AMERICAN RIPPER
I'M AN AMERICAN RIPPER
AMERICAN RIPPER
AMERICAN RIPPER
AMERICAN RIPPER
