Bonjour

[Verse 1: James Hetfield]
Spineless from the start
Sucked into the part
Circus comes to town
You play the lead clown

[Pre-Chorus: James Hetfield]
Please, please, falling to your knees
Living by his story
Knees, knees, falling to your knees
Suffer for his glory, you will

[Chorus: James Hetfield]
Time for lust, time for lie
Time to kiss your life goodbye
Send me money, send me green, heaven you will meet
Make a contribution and you'll get a better seat
Bow to leper messiah

[Verse 2: James Hetfield]
Marvel at his tricks
Need your Sunday fix
Blind devotion came
Rotting your brain

[Pre-Chorus: James Hetfield]
Chain, chain, join the endless chain
Taken by his glamour
Fame, Famе, infection is the game
Stinking drunk with powеr, we see

[Chorus: James Hetfield]
Time for lust, time for lie
Time to kiss your life goodbye
Send me money, send me green, heaven you will meet
Make a contribution and you'll get a better seat
Bow to leper messiah

[Bridge: James Hetfield]
Witchery, weakening
Sees the sheep are gathering
Set the trap, hypnotize
Now you follow

[Outro: James Hetfield]
Time for lust, time for lie
Time to kiss your life goodbye
Send me money, send me green
Heaven you will meet
Make a contribution and you'll get a better seat
Lie, lie, lie, lie
Lie, lie, lie, lie!

Thank you!

Like Black Sabbath and Iron Maiden before, Metallica has managed to transcend the genre from which it was originated. To their metal fanbase they are considered one of the Big Four bands of thrash metal, alongside Megadeth, Anthrax and Slayer; however Metallica is also one of the most commercially successful bands in all of rock music, having sold 110 million records including the 16x platinum Metallica, which stands as both the highest selling metal album of all time and most successful album of the past 25 years.

Metallica was formed in 1981 in Los Angeles after drummer Lars Ulrich placed an advert in the classifieds newspaper The Recycler, which was answered by singer/rhythm guitarist James Hetfield. They were soon joined by lead guitarist Dave Mustaine, who later formed Megadeth after being kicked out of the band because of his substance and alchohol abuse, and bassist Ron McGovney, a childhood friend of Hetfield. These two early members were replaced with Cliff Burton (who relocated the band to San Francisco) and ex-Exodus lead guitarist, Kirk Hammett to form the band’s classic line-up.

The band released three albums, 1983’s Kill ‘Em All, 1984’s Ride The Lightning and 1986’s Master of Puppets before the tragic and untimely death of Cliff Burton on September 27th, 1986.
