Band: Pantera Song: Walk Album: “Reinventing Hell” (2003) Genre: Metal Can’t you see I’m easily bothered by persistence One step from lashing out at you… You want in to get under my skin And call yourself a friend I’ve got more friends like you What do I do? [Pre] Is there no standard anymore? What it takes, who I am, where I’ve been Belong You can’t be something you’re not Be yourself, by yourself Stay away from me A lesson learned in life Known from the dawn of time [Chorus] Respect, walk Run your mouth when I’m not around It’s easy to achieve You cry to weak friends that sympathize Can you hear the violins playing you song? Those same friends tell me your every word [Pre] [Chorus] Are you talking to me? No way punk
