Overkill - Bitter Pill Lyrics






I'm a cold dark night on a summer's day
I'm a black disease I won't go away
Low baby low baby lower you'll be takin' me
And for all it's worth my pain will eat your misery oh yeah

Swallow me like poison
Back down turn around double down breakin' me
Run down ghost town pain will eat your misery
Doctor's orders fist ball and chain

Blood clot ego shot mentally ill bitter pill
High wire hot fire get some thrills bitter pill
Open up wide take the bitter pill bitter pill
Open up wide and swallow a bitter pill

Let the pieces fall where the bodies lay
Where the dreams will break come what may
How it goes how it goes did everybody get a taste
And for all it's worth the ending is an awful waste yeah yeah

Swallow me like poison
Back down turn around double down breakin' me
Run down ghost town pain will eat your misery
Doctor's orders fist ball and chain
Doctor's orders feel the pain hey

I know where the cold wind blows
Fan the heart set it afire
To die in the coldest snow
With the chill that just won't go away
Roarin' like a lion dyin' like a lamb
Hey hey hey hey won't go away
Roarin' like a lion can't get out of that goddamn way
Hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey

Blood clot ego shot mentally ill bitter pill
High wire hot fire get some thrills bitter pill
Open up wide take the bitter pill bitter pill
Open up wide and swallow
Blood clot ego shot mentally ill bitter pill
High wire hot fire get some thrills bitter pill
Open up wide take the bitter pill bitter pill
Open and swallow the cold bitter pill

  75. B.... G....

    \m/
    !!!!!!

  76. T.... P....

    It's 2016, and Exodus still kicking ass!!!!

  77. D.... K....

    Intro sounds a little too much like For Whom The Bell Tolls.

    D.... K....

    I do not agree. It's not even the same chords.

    D.... K....

    it's sound more like eyes of the beholder

    D.... K....

    I thought the Same...

  78. B.... ....

    "Open and swallow the cold bitter pill" if you dislike this!

  79. L.... G....

    what an awesome guitar he has too, that explorer fromthe gutter, sick, sick inlays too, and sick solos, not just speed, but skill

  80. L.... G....

    all out riff meisters....... overkill always has the greatest guitar riffs and they never lost it like so many others. this song is a thrash metal gem...... like so many others overkill put out. a best of album of this band would have 50 or more songs on it.

  81. B.... ....

    Kick Ass Metal Song. One of my favorite headbangers in last 10 years in all of Metal. Just hope all Metal Fans have had the Pleasure of hearing this METAL MONSTER.

  82. T.... F....

    Hardass*

  83. M.... C....

    1 of the beast band

  84. �.... �....

    εσεις που κανατε dislike ειστε μαλακες overkill rules

  85. T.... ....

    Freaking awesome

  86. R.... S....

    I guess if Metallica and Megadeth had a bastard child together it would sound like this.. In a very good way that is.... the second riff reminds me of a number from Met's Justice album but I just can't fooking figure it out....

    R.... S....

    I LOVE METALLICA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    R.... S....

    I belive it reminds me on EYE OF THE BEHOLDER.
    The 3rd Track from their 4th Album ...AND JUSTICE FOR ALL from 1988...

  87. c.... b....

    🎸🎶keep on thrash \m/

  88. B.... ....

    Someone pls tab this for guitar...

  89. A.... N....

    one of the greatest overkill songs!

  90. O.... O....

    Não existe uma música ruim produzida por esses caras...

    O.... O....

    meu deus, o Ozzy Osbourne brasileiro....

  91. M.... ....

    Overkill is fucking badass. Still putting out good shit in this decade, that's just awesome \m/

  92. b.... b....

    Woooooooow q banda do caralhoooo!!

  93. T.... C....

    Absolutely outstanding. Im so glad these guys still bring this shit.

  94. D.... R....

    "Roar like a lion, die like a lemonade' is actually "roar like a lion, die like a lamb yea yea" if anyone is curious. Sounds like lemonade to me lol...

    D.... R....

    +Dennis Richards Well, they do have a song, named Elemon... pardon, Elimination. Guess Overkill loves their lemons, which makes them one of the most healthy bands out there. Also - quite sour.

    Still, one has to agree that "Die like a lemonade!" is a very... special insult. :D

  95. M.... O....

    Im burning by the electric powershift of this song and melting by sight at that extremely hot tattoo girl :P ....!!!

  96. D.... R....

    i wanna git up under that skirt sooo much....

  97. �.... �....

    This was,is and will be my favorite thrash band of all times,and they dont have to be in so callled big 4 to be at the very top of the metal legends pyramid.
