[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

[Instrumental Break]

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
