Shred Lyrics by Overkill

Under the Influence

1988

[Verse 1]
Last time you saw me
I was walkin' out the door
Got a nasty habit
A-comin' back for more
Ain't just a threat... No!
It's a promise well kept
So, when all is said and done
I came to shred

[Chorus]
Shred
Simply stated
Shred
In a word
Shred
Simply stated
Shred

[Verse 2]
Dirty little rumor
Circulating round
Spreadin' like the plague
In every little town
Capturing the spirit
And goin' to the head
Comin' from a blind spot
Comin' out to shred, shred

[Chorus]
Shred
Simply stated
Shred
In a word
Shred
Simply stated
Shred
You know me

[Refrain]
Go!

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
Next time you see me
I'll be walkin' in that door
And all those nasty habits
Risin' up once more
Here comes the promise
In actions, not said
So, make no bones about it
I'm back to shred

[Chorus]
Shred
Simply stated
Shred
In a word
Shred
Simply stated
Shred
You know me

Shred
Simply
Shred
Shred
Shred
In a word
Shred
Shred, shred

[Outro]
Shred
Shred
