[Verse 1]
The motherfuckers got in my head
Trying to make me someone else instead

It's my world now
It's my world now
It's my world
It's my world

"Mama, why's it raining 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

[Chorus]
It's my world now
You can't have it
It's my world, It's my world
It's my world
It's my world now
You can't have it
It's my world, It's my world
It's my world
It's my world now
You can't have it
It's my world, It's my world
It's my world
Sucker!

[Post-Chorus]
I'm out of my head, out of my head
Get 'em out of my head, out of my head
Get 'em out

[Verse 2]
Who's in charge of my head today
Dancing devils in angels way

It's my time now
It's my time now
It's my time
Yeah, it's my time!

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

[Chorus]
It's my world now
You can't have it
It's my world, It's my world
It's my world
It's my world now
You can't have it
It's my world, It's my world
It's my world
It's my world now
You can't have it
It's my world, It's my world
It's my world
Sucker!

[Post-Chorus]
I'm out of my head, out of my head
Get 'em out of my head, out of my head
Get 'em out

[Bridge]
Not only do I not know the answer
I don't even know what the question is
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
God it feels like it only rains on me
God it feels like it only rains on me
God it feels like it only rains on me

[Bridge]
Not only do I not know the answer
I don't even know what the question is
Not only do I not know the answer
I don't even know what the question is

Sucka!

[Outro]
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
Enough's enough
Enough's enough
Enough's enough
Enough's enough
Enough's enough
Enough's enough
Enough's enough

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.
