American Ripper

I was born feet first
On a Friday night
A mouth full of filth
And ready to fight

Meanness coursing threw my veins
Drugged up with a broken brain
Nothing standing in my way
Thrashing till the break of day

Running from the law
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's all I'll be
American Ripper thoroughbred
American Ripper Seeing Red
American Ripper can't you see
An American Ripper tears through me

I swear I am reborn
I just what's at stake
All the skin that's torn
With every song I make

Body's thrashing all around
Head banging to the heavy sound
There's no way that they can catch me
There's no way that 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's all I'll be
American Ripper thoroughbred
American Ripper Seeing Red
American Ripper can't you see
An American Ripper tears through me

When the thrash is on
Is when I feel alive
Born to Satan's son
And it feels so right

Adrenaline rushing through my veins
Strung out 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 scared
Every time you hear my name
Know that Heavy Metal 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's all I'll be
American Ripper thoroughbred
American Ripper Seeing Red
American Ripper can't you see
An American Ripper tears through me

American Ripper
American Ripper
American Ripper
American Ripper
I'm an American Ripper
American Ripper
American Ripper
I'm an American Ripper
