Imagine James Hetfield covering Van Halen's "I'm The One" over the concussive riffs of Helmet's "Impressionable"
nerve endings all aflare
it's all become too much to bear
i'm slowly tearing out my hair
i'm irritated
electrical impulse received
sensibilities aggrieved
the contents of my guts i've heaved
i'm irritated
CHORUS
irritated
irritated
irritated (x2)
axons and dendrites inflamed
too much stimuli to blame
i can't stand to hear your name
i'm irritated
it's like my skin has been scraped raw
or my limbs hacked off with a saw
it magnifies my every flaw
i'm irritated
BRIDGE
i can't shake the state i'm in
i'm about to burst my skin
it feels like i've been sprayed with mace
i can't stand to see your face
i'm irritated!
