Alpha Male Lyrics by Anthrax

Volume 8: The Threat Is Real

1998

[Verse 1]
You should be happy
You should be happy
You should be really happy
I saved your life today
I didn't kill you
Although I meant to
You should be happy
Now go and put your toys away

[Pre-Chorus]
It's the pecking order, back of the line
Pecking order, back of the line
Pecking order, back of the line
Climb up to the top, jump off and take a nose dive

[Chorus]
Another societal break down
Another societal break down

[Verse 2]
What did you just say?
What did you just say?
You said something
Something that I already said
I smell like both of us
You smell like both of us
Revel in our sated lust
Open your eyes and watch me bust

[Pre-Chorus]
It's the pecking order, back of the line
Pecking order, back of the line
Pecking order, back of the line
Ride up to the top, jump off and do a face plant

[Chorus]
Another societal break down
Another societal break down
Walk back alpha male
Another societal break down
And I don't need it around
I'm the king of the town

[Post-Chorus]
What did you do to me?
What did you do to me?
I gotta get another hit off your energy
I'm cruising in neutral, you came into my life
Bam, kicked it up a big notch

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
What did you do to me?
What did you do to me?
I gotta get another hit off your energy
Cruising in neutral, you came into my life
I dropped in from the top
Took off and carved a big slice

[Outro]
Another societal break down
Another societal break down
Another societal break down
And I don't need it around
I'm the king of the
