Battle Lyrics by Overkill

The Killing Kind

1996

[Intro: Batman Returns Sample]
"It's not like you can just kill me!"
"Actually, it's a lot like that"

[Verse 1]
What ya, what ya gonna do? (Yeah)
Who ya, who ya gonna screw? (Yeah)
Play it like ya really bad (Yeah)
Fire
Wanna, wanna be the man (Yeah)
Doin' everything you can (Yeah)
Play it like ya really bad (Yeah)
Tired

[Verse 2]
Can I interest you in nothin'?
Will you buy my disease?
You can take what you want
You can have what you need (Yeah)
Can I interest you in nothin'?
Yeah, I think you'll be pleased
If you're looking for war
Open the one, two, three, door

[Refrain]
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Bleedin' like a stuck pig (Yeah)
Play it like you're really big (Yeah)
Bleedin' like a stuck pig (Yeah)
Don't matter

[Verse 3]
No one loves ya, baby
Now, without sayin', "Please"
You got blood on your hands
You got dirt on your knees
Can I offer you salvation?
Yeah, I think you'll agree
You're about to fall (Yeah), 'bout to fall (Yeah)
'Bout to fall (Yeah), 'bout to fall (Yeah)

[Chorus]
The battle, the war
The battle
The battle, the war
The battle

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
Inside job, ya got a revolution
Napoleon had less rage
Self-made mob, you need an institution
You need a full-time cage
Why do you stay here?
Why do you roam?
Kaos, feed the big man
He ain't going home, ain't going home

[Interlude: Batman Returns Sample]
"It's not like you can just kill me
Just kill me, kill me, kill me..."

[Verse 4]
Disciple of Kaos (Yeah)
A self-made man (Yeah)
Disciple of Kaos (Yeah)
That's what I am (Yeah)
Disciple of Kaos (Yeah)
The silent roar (Yeah)
Disciple of Kaos (Yeah)
Open the one, two, three, war

[Chorus]
The battle, the war
The battle
The battle, the war
The battle

[Outro]
What ya, what ya gonna do? (Yeah, yeah)
Who ya, who ya gonna screw? (Yeah, yeah)
What ya, what ya gonna do? (Yeah, yeah)
What ya, what ya gonna do? (Yeah, yeah)
Who ya, who ya gonna screw? (Yeah, yeah)
What ya, what ya gonna do? (Yeah, yeah)
