    Lyrics:
    No more!
    The crap rolls out of your mouth again
    Haven’t changed, your brain is still gelatin
    Little whispers circle around your head
    Why don’t you worry about yourself instead
    Who are you? Where ya been? Where ya from?
    Gossip is burning on the tip of your tongue
    You lie so much you believe yourself
    Judge not lest ye be judged yourself
    Holier than thou
    You are
    Holier than thou
    You are
    You know not
    Before you judge me take a look at you
    Can’t you find something better to do?
    Point the finger, slow to understand
    Arrogance and ignorance go hand in hand
    It’s not who you are it’s who you know
    Others lives are the basis of your own
    Burn your bridges build them back with wealth
    Judge not lest ye be judged yourself
    Holier than you
    You are
    Holier than you
    You are
    You know not

    Been a Metallica fan for over 30 years now. Listening to the Blacklist songs one by one, this is one of the best so far in my opinion. It is creative, it makes sense musically, it just fits, well done, never heard of Biffy Clyro before, but this is fantastic.

      Biffy Clyro is pretty awesome. If you like more happy sounding rock songs, check out their song Bubbles. It’s not actually all that happy, but it’s one of their classics and it’s DANG addictive.

      Hey, that's what Biffy Clyro do. It's not easy to do a Metallica cover. Doing it like Metallica does just wouldn't do it justice. Biffy Clyro recorded it as if it's a song that they've written. It could be a cover that's very divisive among fans, but I highly respect the what-if-it-was-our-song-approach. Then again, I'm also a fan of Biffy Clyro and can appreciate Metallica, even though I've grown away from them.

      I was lucky I grew up in Glasgow in the early 2000's so I knew them well. Duff McKagan more or less wrote an entire chapter of his second book because of Biffy -'Bands you haven't heared but are excellent'. He toured with them in the mid 2000's and couldn't believe they weren't superstars globally. I recommend their 3rd album 'Infinity Land' plus the b-sides if you are just dipping your toe in. Wave Upon Wave, Kids from Kibble, Bonanzoid Deathgrip. Check out any of their live shows in Glasgow [Barrowlands specifically]. Thank me later.
