Frantic tick tick tick tick tock
Frantic tick tick tick tick tick tick tock
Frantic tick tick tick tick tick tick tock

I've worn out always being afraid
An endless stream of fear that i've made
Treading water full of worry
This frantic tick tick talk goes hurry

"Frantic tick tick tick tick tock!" I've never listened to Metallica. Now I'm afraid to.
I hunted down this thread because yesterday I heard and was horrified for the first time by these lyrics...and even more horrified when I later looked up the song and found out it was a big global hit:

"Don't Trust Me" - 3OH!3
T-t-tongues always pressed to your cheeks
While my tongue is on the inside of some other girl's teeth
You tell your boyfriend, if he says he's got beef,
that I'm a vegetarian and I ain't fucking scared of him.
Shush girl, shut your lips
Do the Hellen Keller and talk with your hips.
I said shush girl, shut your lips
Do the Hellen Keller and talk with your hips.
I said shush girl, shut your lips
Do the Hellen Keller and talk with your hips.
