Ain't My Bitch
Metallica · Load
Out of my day
Out of your mind and into mine
It's no more
It's not born
Into your step but out of time
Head strong
What's wrong
I've already heard this song before
You've arrived, but now it's time to kiss your ass good-bye
Dragging me down
While you were round
So useless
It ain't my fault
It ain't my call
It ain't my bitch
Ain't my bitch
Down on the sun
Down on your fun
Down and out where the hell you've been
Damn it all down
Damn it unbound
Damn it all down ta hell again
Stand tall
They fall
Never even meant it all before
You've arrived, but now it's time to kiss your ass good-bye
Dragging me down
While you were round
So useless
It ain't my fault
It ain't my call
It ain't my bitch
Out of my way
Out of my way
Out of my day
Out of your mind and into mine
It's no more
It's not born
Into your step but out of time
Head Strong
What's wrong
I've already heard this song before
You've arrived, but now it's time to kiss your ass good-bye
Dragging me down
While you were round
So useless
It ain't my fault
It ain't my call
It ain't my bitch
No way but down
While you were round
No foolin'
It ain't my smile
It ain't my style
It ain't my bitch
Ain't mine
Your kind
Your stepin' out of time
Dragging me down
While you were round
No foolin'
It ain't my fault
It ain't my call
It ain't my bitch
Ain't my
Ain't My Bitch
Ain't My Bitch stands as a defining track from Metallica's 1996 album Load, marking a significant departure from the band's traditional thrash metal roots. Released during an era of experimentation, the song showcases the group's willingness to embrace alternative rock textures and bluesy riffs alongside their signature heavy sound. The recording features James Hetfield's distinctive vocal delivery and a driving rhythm section that underscores the band's evolving musical identity in the mid-1990s. As part of the Load catalogue, the track reflects Metallica's broader shift toward a more accessible, radio-friendly style while maintaining the intensity that defined their earlier work. This song remains a notable example of the band's ability to reinvent their sound without losing their core heaviness.
