Written by James Hetfield & Lars Ulrich

 

Verse 1:

Spineless from the start, sucked into the part

Circus comes to town, you play the lead clown

Please, please, spreading his disease, living by his story

Knees, knees, falling to your knees, suffer for his glory

You will

 

Chorus:

Time for lust, time for lie

Time to kiss you life goodbye

Send me money, send me green

Heaven you will meet

Make a contribution

And you’ll get a better seat

Bow to Leper Messiah

 

Verse 2:

Marvel at his tricks, need your Sunday fix

Blind devotion came, rotting your brain

Chain, chain, join the endless chain, taken by his glamour

Fame, fame, infection is the game, stinking drunk with power

We see

 

Chorus:

Time for lust, time for lie

Time to kiss you life goodbye

Send me money, send me green

Heaven you will meet

Make a contribution

And you’ll get a better seat

Bow to Leper Messiah

 

Middle:

Witchery, weakening

Sees the sheep are gathering

Set the trap, hypnotize

Now you follow

 

Chorus:

Time for lust, time for lie

Time to kiss you life goodbye

Send me money, send me green

Heaven you will meet

Make a contribution

And you’ll get a better seat

Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie
