[Intro] [distorted guitar riff, syncopated drums] Yeah! [Verse 1] [palm-muted guitar, driving bass] Staring at me with that look in your eye Like you're waiting for the crash, waiting for the lie I've been quiet, I've been calm, I've been keeping it low But the pressure's building up and it's ready to blow You think you're safe behind your wall of glass But every word you speak is right in check, you can't pass Step a little closer across the invisible line And watch the monster wake up just one more time [Chorus] [full distorted chords, heavy drums] Don't poke the bear if you can't handle the teeth You don't want to know what lies underneath It's a long way down when you fall from the top Once the chaos starts, man, it's never gonna stop So push me, pull me, drag me through the dirt I promise you, son, this is gonna hurt (This is gonna hurt) [Verse 2] [bass-driven groove, scratching guitar effects] I see the snake hiding in the grass Waiting for the movement, waiting for the pass You mistake my silence for weakness in the bone But I'm a king sitting on a very dangerous throne Go ahead and strike, give it your best shot Show me everything that you think you've got 'Cause when the smoke clears and the dust settles down There'll be only one of us left in this town [Chorus] [heavy intensity] Don't poke the bear if you can't handle the teeth You don't want to know what lies underneath It's a long way down when you fall from the top Once the chaos starts, man, it's never gonna stop So push me, pull me, drag me through the dirt I promise you, son, this is gonna hurt [Bridge] [wah-filtered guitar solo] [shouted] You want the war! You want the war! You want the fight! We'll fight all night! I'm the nightmare you created The violence you debated! RAHHH! [Chorus] [maximum volume] Don't poke the bear if you can't handle the teeth You don't want to know what lies underneath It's a long way down when you fall from the top Once the chaos starts, man, it's never gonna stop So push me, pull me, drag me through the dirt I promise you, son, this is gonna hurt Don't say I didn't warn ya! This is gonna hurt! [Outro] [staccato guitar chugging] Get out of my face!
