Machine Head - Volatile Lyrics






Fuck the world!
Go!

They never see me coming
Their faces twisted in shock
Now the fools come gunnin'
To put our heads to the block

Sick of the laughter, sick of the pain
Sick of the feeling this feeling of shame
Sick of the white folks privileged and vain
Protesting the culture that isn't the same

Don't blame the false elites
When Nazi assholes march the streets
So call me a hypocrite, call me a fake
It's nothing compared to your pride and your hate

Dead, dead and bloated
These times are volatile
There's no room left for you
Dead, dead and bloated
There's no room left for you
These times are
Volatile (volatile)
Volatile (volatile)
Volatile (volatile)
This world is fuckin' volatile

Fuck the world!

You'll never see me coming

Sick of the racists, sick of this shit
Sick of them telling me it's immigrants
Sick of the phonies on my phone screen
Sick of the NRA trying to scare me

Stop crying innocence
Stop claiming self-defense
Good men won't speak 'cause they're scared of the violence
But bad men keep screaming to fill up the silence

Dead, dead and bloated
These times are volatile
There's no room left for you
Dead, dead and bloated
There's no room left for you
These times are
Volatile (volatile)
Volatile (volatile)
Volatile (volatile)
This world is fuckin' volatile

Break it, smash it, burn it to the ground
Break it, smash it, burn it to the ground
Break it, smash it, burn it to the ground

Break it, smash it, burn it to the ground
Break it, smash it, burn it to the ground
Break it, smash it, burn it to the ground

Dead, dead and bloated
These times are volatile
There's no room left for you
Dead, dead and bloated
Life can be so vol-a
Volatile (volatile)
Volatile (volatile)
Volatile
Volatile
Volatile
Volatile
Volatile
Volatile
Vo...

Break it, smash it, burn it to the ground
Break it, smash it, burn it to the ground
Break it, smash it, burn it to the ground
Break it, smash it, burn it to the ground

  10. D.... S....

    I don‘t get the hate. The lyrics are bad, right. But the instrumental is not far away from the first records. I alway listen to Machine F**king Head cuz of the riffs and the fills. And they are not bad. Not great, but good in my opinion

Actually go fuck yourself with your idiotic logic you fucking pop bubble moron. Preaching like you've fucking earned it. "Protesting a culture that isn't the same" blind and ignorant troglodyte you are. I hope your wealth gets taken away so you could really see how fucking bad it is for everyone down here in reality. You fucking tool

  25. J.... D....

    I never knew how a band this awesome, would write a song about hippie libtard complaining

  26. A.... C....

    Wolfenstein 2 the new colossus in a nutshell

  27. J.... s....

    I really like the solo, how come noones talking about, the solo has a good intro, and outro of the solo, nice, wish it lasted longer, I wish I could learn it, but I dont think the guitar tab teaches it proper

  28. M.... K....

    I can't accept different political opinions so i have to bitch about it in the youtube comments

    M.... K....

    pretty much sums up the haters, yeah.

  29. c.... ....

    Wow, people reacting to the lyrics really say ms something about em.

    c.... ....

    They're insulting and fake, people who react have a spine.

  30. D.... ....

    gojira and slipknot's instrumentals + rob + a little too much cnn = volatile

  31. J.... W....

    I'm very left leaning, but fucking hell, Rob, these lyrics are straight out of a 17 year old social studies students Tumblr post.

  32. C.... ....

    SJW metal lol what happened to MH

  33. W.... ....

    Oh America, I love how you all can't look at yourself with a self aware perspective.

    Not giving a shit, that's what your country is good at 👍🏻

  34. j.... c....

    I love this song*

    *but as a black female i even found these lyrics a bit much. I was like damn. It aint all this sweetie.

  35. r.... f....

    What happened to you guy's? After the burning red i have not been able to enjoy your music. And now your singing about lies from the dems. They are the ones who want to divide us.

  36. Y.... T....

    Slipknot stile

  37. D.... A....

    No disrespect Rob,you have an awesome band!

    But I do not respect your political views & your distain toward us bad ass White warriors!

    We aren't the racist...black people are today!

    They harass white people more than black people getting harassed.
    They're the ones that call us racial slurs 1st bro!
    And they're allowed to have all them black gangs & organizations but we're not allowed to have 1 White Nationalist group or organization?

    THAT'S BULLSHIT BRO!

    THAT'S DOUBLE STANDARDISM & HYPOCRISY!

    WE HAVE A RIGHT TO MARCH TOO!

  38. T.... G....

    Man I had to sit in my bed for this after almost going to sleep... Its been a long time since I have not seen so many negative filled with hate and negativity towards Machine Head and most importantly to our metal God Robb Flynn's musical and lyric approach to this song. Man Im so pissed and I have never ever felt so embarrased to hear my fellow metalhead brothers DISRESPECTING Robb Muthafuckin' Flynn!! And accusing him of plaggiarism on riffs and comparing his lyrics to Slipknot's??? So what if he is fed up with how the world is right now, so what if he is reliving his teenage anger about a certain topic and write about it. There are certain legends in metal that have stayed true to themselves and to metal throughout the years that automatically earned our Respect no matter what they do. Damn! My heart is broken right now. Do anybody here knows what Robb was doing when Corey Taylor was probably still playing with his Tonka Truck? If you dont...look it up and see with which band he started playing the guitar with back in the day. Ill leave that as homework you critizicing posers wanna be " metalheads". I am a 42 year old diehard metalhead from Dominican Republic that has been literally been listening to metal since I was 6 years old and I tell you that, most of the comments I read here was rememberance of a black metal chat I joined once in which I realized for the first time how immature and full of hate black metallers are. Dont get me wrong, I love Black Metal as a music genre, I just hate the mentality behind the people that adopt its idiosyncratic views of life. One of the things that made me love metal more than anything in the world was the magic of uniting all types of people from all over the world despite beliefs, morals, skin colors...we are all one through Metal! I also thought that most of the negative comments here came from metal youngsters that have not figure out what being a true metalhead is all about. But then, comparing the riffs with Chimaira's cleansation made me realize that maybe I am reading comments from"not so young" metalheads. Long live metal...long live Machine Head and Fuckkkk!! Long live Robb Flynn...a true fucking metal God and living legend that has been carrying the torch proudly for 30 + years you sissy ass phony trend followers wannabes!!

  39. I.... A....

    So is the next album dedicated to denouncing all of the Antifa leftists physically harming people and starting riots in order to silence speech they disagree with? Your leftist Communist friends beat people for wearing Trump hats, silence people from the Left who don't succumb to the far left narrative with violence and allegations of rape, homophobia, and racism.

    Fuck this garbage. Fuck Ministry too while we're at it. What a waste of a Slipknot rip off lmao.

    Wake up, true Democrats. The far Left is destroying liberalism.

    #Walkaway #HispanicLiberalsForTrump #MadeAmericaGreatAgain #MAGA #americawillneverbeasocialistcountry

  40. m.... ....

    Sick of the racists, sick of this shit
    Sick of them telling me it's ignorance
    Sick of the phonies on my phone screen
    Sick of the Liberals trying to scare me
    Stop crying "white privilege"
    Stop claiming "peaceful protests"
    Good men won't speak 'cause they know to be silent
    But Liberals scream 'cause they want to cause violence

    There. Fixed it to be correct.

  41. K.... ....

    is not fanny MH  is dead ?

  42. S.... M....

    Boring.

  43. A.... B....

    Finally some artists have the balls to call it like it is. Say what you want, Robb clearly don’t give a shit. He knows wtf is up. He isn’t blindly going along with the downfall of society, he is fighting, and that’s what metal is all about. Metal is about not backing down when shit turns south, facing up to the bullshit and horror that life has to offer and confronting it instead of brushing it under the rug. This is metal af, you don’t like it? Fuck off.

  44. A.... L....

    This lacks so much subtlety compared to the last album...

  45. J.... F....

    Why does, at the bottom of the description, it say that this is Beyond The Pale?

  46. L.... ....

    Instrumentals are good. Sad for the SJW fruity limp-wristed lyrics.

  47. M.... M....

    I hate when metal bands bring politics into music. Machinehead has always tried to jump on any bandwagon.

  48. E.... V....

    SJW bullcrap should have been an instrumental.

  49. J.... H....

    I'm getting a Slipknot (Iowa album) vibe here, especially the beginning and end

  50. p.... ....

    been life long fan for me is return to form i love this

  51. c.... ....

    You do realize that all of this division that you watch on TV, the mainstream media (owned by the Rothschilds) is to focus our intention off of them, the Zionists, their wicked system of control using central banks & their private entity known as The Federal Reserve that prints money & loans it to Congress at interest. The Rothschilds have  trillions of dollars & they fund both sides of wars. They are the enemy of the people. You are falling victim to their plan. George Soros is paying for most of these Antifa kids. I do not understand how he is not in jail or worse. Along with the Zionists, the Vatican, the Bush's, the queen of England, Dick Cheney, Hillary & Bill Clinton, "Obama" the CIA-asset, the Jesuits, the Rockefellers, Bill Gates, etc. Their whole plan is to bring "3rd world" peoples, middle-aged, fighting men (who carry a whole list of diseases) into America, Europe, Germany, etc. & have them basically destroy those countries. You will not hear about the massive rapes, attacks & even killings from Muslims onto white women, on TV. The German & European police are basically scared to even do something about it & protect their own citizens. It is insane what is going on. Now, it is coming to America & we will all be too worried about that & the wall to focus on the real problem which is Rothschild Zionism. Matter fact, go look that up on YouTube. Maybe type in, "David Icke Rothschild Zionism." If it is still up. They are shutting people down left & right who speak the truth. Ken O'Keefe is also good to look up on here, as well as Tim Rifat & Jeff Rense.

  52. T.... ....

    Machine Head goes to shit for a second time (ie Burning Red)
    Bye.. its been fun.

  53. c.... B....

    a really lame intent to sound interesting

  54. p.... ....

    "Sick of the white folk, privileged and vain." Robb is more privileged than anyone but go on. Also, this white dude supported Phil Anselmo saying "white power" but how dare we call him a hypocrite. "Sick of the NRA scaring me." LOLWUT. This song just seems like it came straight from tumblr. Also, is this motherfucker comparing the political divide in this video to the Holocaust? Extremely poor taste...

    Oh yeah, I forgot this was a song. The instruments are good, Robb's lyrics make me wanna die.

    Inb4 "u h8 this song bc im a white supremacist."

  55. C.... R....

    The guitars are great but these lyrics are some of the worst metal lyrics

  56. J.... P....

    I think the song kicks ass, and come on, rock and roll/metal lyrics are supposed to protest social stuff. Trump circus America is great stuff for lyrics writing.

  57. S.... S....

    Is this Slipknot?

  58. T.... C....

    Robb and Phil are tremendous musicians! Quit Hating!!!

  59. B.... ....

    All the supposed fans of MH who've got upset because Rob Flynn's politics have suddenly become apparent are either liars or imbeciles. The politics have been there from the start, maybe actually listen to their older material better and you'll hear it... if you don't like the politics find another band and stop wasting the time of the bands actual fans.

  60. A.... N....

    TRUMP 2020 KEEP AMERICA GREAT

  61. D.... T....

    heh, as if we haven't got a million subgenres already, here's some NPC metal for you

  62. c.... h....

    i love the hipocrisy here...
    Megadeth doing conservative songs and with right political tendencies almost '10 years = "NAH THAT'S FINE EVERYONE, HAVE THEIR OPNIONS, BTW I LOVE "WASHINGTON IS NEXT" AND "LYING IN STATE"
    Machine Head going with left political tendencies = "FUCKING ROBBIE FLYN, HE JUST RUINED THIS ALBUM WITH HIS SJW AGENDA"


    seriously people, try to get out a little of your circle jerks of convenients truth!
    i love both bands but it's clear to me that people are justing bashing this song because they don't agree with the lyrics....

  63. R.... ....

    Just lost all respect for MH. Fuck this sucks :/

  64. R.... ....

    The Mid-life Crisis Millennial album...

  65. e.... m....

    Why do the lyrics of this song get so much hate? They are amazing!

  66. S.... B....

    2:21 OMG!!!!!! \M/ \M/ \M/ \M/ Heaviest Breakdown I heard.

  67. R.... G....

    🖕FUCK THE WORLD🖕
    AND THOSE WHO GOT OFFENDED BY THE LYRICS
    LMAO

  68. M.... O....

    Glad the bitches disbanded

  69. A.... s....

    Stupid people with bad comments only for a thumbs up.. Pathetic

  70. P.... G....

    Lmao you dumbasses release this shit album then receive backlash now quitting lmaooo

  71. D.... S....

    They never see me coming, Their faces twisted in shock. Ahahahaha! Sick of the racists sick of this shit!

  72. s.... w....

    Snowflake metal.

  73. J.... L....

    This is ruined by awful unoriginal sjw lyrics. Buh bye, plus his voice sounds stupid.

  74. P.... D....

    I laugh at anyone who tells an artist what to make their art about.
    Everyone who included "SJW" in their comment, this song was probably aimed at you.

    P.... D....

    So What

    P.... D....

    yeah, so according to those comments, things like black lives matter are suddenly "sJw" just no.

  75. H.... N....

    Since when did Pearl Jam get so heavy?

  76. K.... ....

    "Zomg he's tired of the increased racism in the streets, he went full SJW!" You guys are retarded. Even a number of conservatives are sick of the rise in white supremacists. If you're mad at Machine Head over this you might wanna think about your own hatred towards minorities.

    K.... ....

    you said it. these are the golden words. i agree.

  77. 2.... ....

    I liked this album. All except this song, which sounded like a band who was so pissed about how democracy works, they spent hours upon hours creating a song with lyrics straight out of a edgy feminist teens diary.

    Shame too. Everything else about this song is good...

  78. j.... a....

    I don't get where or why race equality has, ne thing nor should it, to do with politics! The ones fighting still can't get over that their counterparts lost! And basically lost in everything they fought for!

  79. K.... ....

    “Sick of the NRA trying to scare me” How is that? Is he seriously scared of a law abiding, gun carrying citizen?

  80. S.... T....

    FUCK ANSELMO!!!!

  81. N.... I....

    saludos from méxico city !

  82. D.... F....

    Soon as I heard the lyrics i knew there was gonna be a shitfest in the comments lol. Love this song even more for the butthurt it causes in right-wing booty <3

  83. E.... F....

    It’s a shame that such talent is wasted to shit of left wing populism, and “anti fascist” propaganda.

  84. S.... C....

    Wow what the fuck are these lyrics. This is like anti-metal

    S.... C....

    Chives their anti-fascist. If u are a nazi sympathizer you can eat your own shit

  85. P.... Z....

    i'm a massive fan of Machine head and have been since the very beginning (yes i'm old) but this songs lyrics are bullshit, I take it that this song came about after the 'racist' videos and when Rob started bowing down to the left ?

    P.... Z....

    Metal was always the left.

  86. �.... �....

    Заибись!!!!!!!!!

  87. S.... ....

    Okay... Who let Max Cavalera white the lyrics to this song?!

  88. S.... H....

    Nice way to kick off an album, little different album, but change is good, it's kinda tough to match a masterpiece like THE BLACKENING, every album

  89. S.... H....

    NICE!!!!!! ANOTHER CLASSIC MH RIFF!!!

  90. �.... �....

    Bomb!!!

  91. t.... ....

    Wow so disappointing.  Machine Head has turned into delicate  little snowflakes sad about the NRA "scaring" them and 'White privilege".  So lame.  If they have a problem with the 2nd Amendment then let's hear it.

    t.... ....

    trencher7 if you don't like it you are more than welcome to gtfo

    t.... ....

    Hell yeah. Glad I read the comments, cause this is similar to what I said.

  92. m.... b....

    wow this new slipknot song is pretty sick! Oh wait........????????

  93. s.... ....

    i wonder what kind of tampons they have on the tour bus

  94. N.... ....

    Nice song to clean the nazis and reactionaries of the fanbase

  95. d.... ....

    The right wing is butthurt, as usual.

  96. t.... s....

    How disappointed

  97. �.... �....
