Goddamn Electric

Pantera · Original Album Series [2011]

There is a part of me that's always sixteen

I've found the secret of eternal youth

Some get high on life or money, but there's an

Escape, drop out of the race.

- To walk through the world by ones self, you can't be

Protected... your trust is in whiskey and weed and

Black Sabbath - It's Goddamn Electric



Don't waste your time, embrace it

And then you'll know yourself

The change in you is Goddamn Electric



The weight of the world has lifted and parted

My eyes roll blind to sights that distracted

Through tunnel-vision and dope-hair blinders

I'll cut a path and evoke my will

- To walk through the world by ones self, you can't

Be protected... your trust is in whiskey and weed

And Slayer, it's Goddamn Electric



Don't fake your life - inhale it

And then you'll know yourself

The change in you is Goddamn Electric

Don't waste your time, embrace it

Annd then you'll know yourself

The change that is Goddamn Electric will focus>

The Mind's Eye...



One hand on the bottle, the other a shaking

Fist, rejuvinated, isolated, no pressure

From the outside, my sight's Goddamn Electric

And these eyes have seen a world

Goddamn Electric system...
