We were writing this album
Em Em
My manager called and said: "we need a hit".

So I got out my beach ball,

my Hawaiian shirt with little coconuts on the sleeves
E B
and wrote this brutal jam while the tall palm trees

began to sway gently in the island breeze.
[Chorus 1]
B
Death metal, the metal of death.

Better drink that margarita before your last breath.

The taste of Satan from our rock armada,
A F# E
An umbrella of evil in your piña colada.
B
Death metal, put on your leis.
A E
Surfin' waves as your rotting mortal soul decays.
E B
Lay back in the sand and drift slowly away,
E F# B
and renounce your God's existence at the seafood buffet.

and then we tuned our ukuleles to get that dark sound.
B
We were in the metal festival that night

Like Demigod Slut and Chasm of filth

Tanning lotion on Corpse, he needs a high SPF.

Playing frisbee all day, you'll be running like a cheetah.

Sacrificing goats with a sweet señorita.

Death metal, choke on our scum

Thanks for joining us today for all our tropical fun
