LYRICS

I’m gonna make you
Shake you, take you
I’m gonna be the one who breaks you
Put the screws to ya, my way
Yeah, come on, come on
Come and make my day
Make my day

Got some hell to pay ya
I steal your thunder
The joy of violent movement
Pulls you under
Bite the bullet, well hard
Yeah, but I die harder
So go too far
Too far

Friction, fusion
Retribution
I can’t hear ya
Talk to me
I can’t hear ya
So talk to me
I can’t hear ya
Are ya talking to me?
I can’t hear ya
You talking to me?
I can’t hear ya
Time to meet my lord
I can’t hear ya
Talk to 2 x 4

I’m gonna make you
Shake you, take you
I’m gonna be that one who breaks you
Put the screws to ya, my way
Hey, come on, come on
Come and make my day
Make my day

Friction, fusion
Retribution
I can’t hear ya
Talk to me
I can’t hear ya
Come talk to me
I can’t hear ya
You talking to me?
I can’t hear ya
Are ya talking to me?
I can’t hear ya
Time to meet my lord
I can’t hear ya
Talk to 2 x 4

Talk to 2 x 4
It don’t take no more
Come on, yeah

Friction, fusion
Retribution
I'm gonna make you
Talk to me
I'm gonna take you
So talk to me
I can’t hear ya
Ya talking to me?
I can’t hear ya
You talking to me?
I can’t hear ya
Time to meet my lord
I can’t hear ya
Talk to, talk to 2 x 4
She don't take no more
