My World
Metallica · St. Anger
Trying to make me someone else instead
It's my world now
Mama, why's it rainin' in my room
Cheer up boy clouds will move on soon
Heavy fog got me lost inside
Gonna sit right back and enjoy this ride
It's my world
You can't have it
It's my world, it's my world
It's my world
I'm out of my head, out of my head
Get 'em out of my head, out of my head
Get 'em out
Who's in charge of my head today
Dancin' devils in angels way
It's my time now
Look out motherfuckers here I come
Gonna make my head my home
The sons of bitches tried to take my head
Tried to make me someone else instead
It's my world
You can't have it
It's my world, it's my world
It's my world
I'm out of my head, out of my head
Get 'em out of my head, out of my head
Get 'em out
Not only do I not know the answer
I don't even know what the question is
God it feels like it only rains on me
Not only do I not know the answer
I don't even know what the question is
I'm out of my head, out of my head
Get 'em out of my head, out of my head
Get 'em out
Enough's enough
