Who cares, who cares what you do?

You, you, you, you, you
So motherfucking what, motherfucker
Well this is it my friends
One more here for you
Lashing out the action, returning the reaction
Weak are ripped and torn away
Hypnotizing power, crushing all that cower
Battery is here to stay
Smashing through the boundaries, lunacy has found me
Cannot stop the battery
Pounding out aggression, turn into obsession
Cannot kill the battery
Yeah!
Cannot kill the family, battery is found in me
Battery, battery
Crushing all deceivers, mashing non-believers
Never-ending potency
Hungry violence-seeker, feeding off the weaker
Breeding on insanity
Smashing through the boundary, lunacy has found me
Cannot stop the battery
Pounding out aggression, turn into obsession
Cannot kill the battery, yeah
Cannot kill the family, battery is found in me
Battery, battery
Yeah!
Circle of destruction, hammer comes crushing
Powerhouse of energy
Whipping up a fury, dominating flurry
We create the battery
Smashing through the boundaries, lunacy has found me
Cannot stop the battery
Pounding out aggression, turn into obsession
Cannot kill the battery
That's right!
Cannot kill the family, battery is found in me
Battery, battery
Battery, fucking battery
See you around, baby
Yeah yeah
Thank you, Mexico City
You treat us good here, man
See you around motherfuckers
Metallica says, "See ya!"
About This Song
"Battery" is a ferocious thrash metal assault that explores themes of unstoppable aggression and destructive power, using the metaphor of an electrical battery to represent relentless, consuming force. The lyrics depict an overwhelming energy that "crushes all that cower" and cannot be killed or stopped, suggesting both literal violence and the unstoppable nature of rage or obsession. Musically, the song showcases Metallica's signature thrash metal style with lightning-fast riffs, aggressive drumming, and James Hetfield's commanding vocals that perfectly match the song's brutal intensity. The track stands as one of the defining moments of 1980s thrash metal, demonstrating Metallica's ability to channel raw power into precisely crafted musical violence. Its exploration of uncontrollable force and the darker aspects of human nature helped establish the band's reputation for combining technical prowess with deeply aggressive themes.
