  • Good day, how do?
    And I send a smile to you
    Don't waste, waste your breath
    And I won't waste my hate on you

    Ain't gonna waste my hate
    Ain't gonna waste my hate on you
    I think I'll keep it for myself
    Ain't gonna give no more
    Ain't got the time to help you score
    I think it's time you pleased yourself, yourself

    Good day, how do?
    And I send a smile to you
    Don't waste, waste your breath
    And I won't waste my hate on you
    Waste my hate on you, hate

    Think you're worthy now?
    You think enough to even raise the brow
    And to laugh and tip that two-pronged crown?
    Well, I see my hands, I see my feet
    I feel that blood that pumps in beat
    But where the hell's my mind going now?
    Dead and gone now

    Good day, how do?
    And I send a smile to you
    Don't waste, waste your breath
    And I won't waste my hate on you
    Waste my hate on you
    Think I'll keep it for myself, hate

    Ain't gonna waste my hate
    But I'm so greedy when they say
    Better to give than to receive

    Ain't gonna waste my hate, no no
    Ain't got time to waste my hate on you
    I think I'll keep it all for myself, for myself

    Good day, how do?
    And I send a smile to you
    Don't waste, don't waste your breath
    And I won't waste my hate on you
    Waste my hate on you
    Think I'll keep it for myself, yeah, hate Writer/s: James Alan Hetfield, Kirk L. Hammett, Lars Ulrich

  • Sir Pyschoflexy from UkOne of the deeper of metallicas cuts. This era gets a lot of negatively but I think it's aged perfectly. Solid riff as per usual. Great song. Hi
  • Zander from Los AngelesRecently they play the main riff to this song after playing "Seek and Destroy" live, which is usually the last song of the set.
