[Verse 1]
When new damage comes
It's a faceless poison
A new world order
It's new damage done

[Chorus]
The wreck is going down
Get out before you drown
The wreck is going down
Get out before you drown
Get out

[Verse 2]
When new damage comes
It's a new word for plague
A new world order
A new word for hate

[Chorus]
The wreck is going down
Get out before you drown
The wreck is going down
Get out before you drown
Get out, yeah

[Bridge]
Before you drown
Get out
Get out
Oh yeah

[Guitar Solo]

[Refrain]
When new damage comes
It's a new word for plague, yeah
A new world order
A new word for hate

[Chorus]
The wreck is going down
Get out before you drown
The wreck is going down
Get out before you drown

[Outro]
Get out, get out
Get out, before you
Drown
Before you drown
Get out
Get out
Get out
Get out, get out
Get out, oh yeah
Get out before you drown
Get out
Get out
Before you drown, before you drown
Before, before you drown

Soundgarden

One of the biggest rock bands out of Seattle, Soundgarden was formed in 1984 by singer and rhythm guitarist Chris Cornell, lead guitarist Kim Thayil, and bassist Hiro Yamamoto. Matt Cameron became the band’s full-time drummer in 1986, while bassist Ben Shepherd became a permanent replacement for Yamamoto in 1990. While one of the creators of the Grunge alternative rock and the first to sign to a major label, they only rose to stardom once the genre was popularized by Nirvana, Pearl Jam and Alice in Chains in the early 90s. After achieving great success with 1994’s Superunknown, the band decided to call it quits three years later due to internal squabbles. Eventually they reunited in 2010, releasing new album King Animal two years later. Frontman Chris Cornell committed suicide in a Detroit hotel room on May 17, 2017. He was 52 years old.
