Song lyrics
don't tread on me 
so don't tread on me 

liberty or death, what we so proudly hail 
once you provoke her, rattling of her tail 
never begins it, never, but once engaged... 
never surrenders, showing the fangs of rage 

so don't tread on me 

so be it 
threaten no more 
to secure peace is to prepare for war 
so be it 
settle the score 
touch me again for the words that you will hear evermore... 

don't tread on me 

love it or leave it, she with the deadly bite 
quick is the blue tongue, forked as lighting strike 
shining with brightness, always on surveillance 
the eyes, they never close, emblem of vigilance no, no, no 

so don't tread on me 

so be it 
threaten no more 
to secure peace is to prepare for war 
so be it 
settle the score 
touch me again for the words that you will hear evermore... 

don't tread on me 

so be it 
threaten no more 
to secure peace is to prepare for war 

liberty or death, what we so proudly hail 
once you provoke her, rattling on her tail 

so be it 
threaten no more 
to secure peace is to prepare for war 
so be it 
settle the score 
touch me again for the words that you will hear evermore... 

don't tread on me

I love this song, it doesn't sound so simple on guitar though, now I'm discouraged (not really )

This song is awesome. The lyrics are great too. they don't really make you think though they're really straight forward. Kirks solo in this song is kind of weak though, he can do better

this song is based on the american revolution, u know the dont tread on me flag, since the flag has a rattle snake on it that represents america and thats y it says "never begins it, never, but once engaged, never surrenders. We listined to this song in history class that where i found it. It was pretty weird listing to heave metal in history class

This album should be considered one of the bests of Metallica, with songs like Enter Sandman, Sad But True, Unforgiven and this one.
The way it "turns you on", it's quite impressive.
