  • Now we're Anthrax and we take no shit
    And we don't care for writing hits
    The sound you hear is what we like
    I'll steal your pop-tarts like I stole your
    Socks!
    No man, what's the matter with you?
    I'll get it the next time, I mean it

    Charlie, beat the beats, the beats you beat
    The only thing harder's the smell of my feet
    So listen up 'cause you might get dissed
    Go drain the lizard or take a
    Chair!
    Damn, watch the beat!

    I'm on your case, I'm in your face
    Kick you and your father back in place
    Step up sucker, understand
    Don't you know,

    I'm the man! I'm the man!
    I'm so bad I should be in detention!
    I'm the man!

    Shut up!

    We've got real def rhythms and fresh new jams
    And ya think we got egos but we're just hams
    Scott plays stick ball and likes to skate
    Frank is never on time he's always
    Sleeping!
    "Late!"

    Drink the drinks, the drinks they drank
    I put my money in the bank
    They cut their crack, they offer joints
    We don't do drugs, do you get our
    Meaning!
    "Point!" "Point!" Watch the beat!

    I'm on your case, I'm in your face
    Kick you and your father back in place
    Step up sucker, understand
    Don't you know,

    I'm the man! I'm the man!
    I'm bad! I'm so bad I should be in detention!
    I'm the man!

    Shut up!

    For a heavy metal band raps a different way
    We like to different and not cliche
    They say rap and metal can never mix
    Well all of them can suck our
    Sexual organ in the lower abdominal area!
    No man, it's "dicks!"

    Master!

    Fart the farts, the farts he farted
    I pick my nose 'cause I'm retarded
    Like El Duce says "smell my anal vapor"
    And wipe my butt with your
    Face!
    "Toilet paper!" Yo, watch the beat!

    I'm on your case, I'm in your face
    Kick you and your father back in place
    Step up sucker, understand
    Don't you know,

    I'm the man! I'm the man!
    I'm bad! I'm so bad I should be in detention!
    I'm the man!

    Shut up!

    So, as this rap is winding down
    It's plain to see we wear the crown
    You know Anthrax is number one
    But we don't care, we just want to have
    A festival!
    "Fun" you stupid idiot!

    We are the kings that all shout hell
    We're like a diamond that is forever
    And will remain the hardest ever

    I'm so bad, it's a crime Writer/s: CHARLIE L. BENANTE, DANIEL ALAN SPITZ, FRANK JOSEPH BELLO, JOSEPH A. BELLARDINI, SCOTT IAN ROSENFELD
