"Alpha Male" adalah lagu kuat dari band thrash metal legendaris Anthrax. Liriknya yang menggugah mengkritik norma-norma sosial yang menindas dan rasa percaya diri yang berlebihan. Lagu ini dibuka dengan seruan untuk bersyukur atas pengampunan dari kematian, menyoroti sifat tidak rasional dari kekerasan dan agresi. Dengan kecaman yang tegas terhadap "urutan mematuk" dan "kegagalan masyarakat", "Alpha Male" berfungsi sebagai pengingat tentang bahaya kesombongan dan perlunya kerendahan hati.
Alpha Male Lyrics
Anthrax
You should be happy
You should be happy
You should be really happy
I saved your life today
I didn't kill you
Although I meant to
You should be happy
Now go and put your toys away
It's the pecking order, back of the line
Pecking order, back of the line
Pecking order, back of the line
Climb up to the top, jump off and take a nose dive
Another societal breakdown
Another societal breakdown
What did you just say
What did you just say
You said something
Something that I already said
I smell like both of us
You smell like both of us
Revel in our sated lust
Open your eyes and watch me bust
It's the pecking order, back of the line
Pecking order, back of the line
Pecking order, back of the line
Climb up to the top, jump off and do a face plant
Another societal breakdown
Another societal breakdown
Another societal breakdown
And I don't need it around, I'm the king of the town
What did you do to me
I gotta get another hit off your energy
I'm cruising in neutral, you came into my life
And bam, kicked it up a big notch
What did you do to me, what did you do to me
I gotta get another hit off your energy
I dropped in from the top
Took off and carved a big slice
Another societal breakdown
Another societal breakdown
Another societal breakdown
And I don't need it around, I'm the king of the...
You should be happy
You should be really happy
I saved your life today
I didn't kill you
Although I meant to
You should be happy
Now go and put your toys away
It's the pecking order, back of the line
Pecking order, back of the line
Pecking order, back of the line
Climb up to the top, jump off and take a nose dive
Another societal breakdown
Another societal breakdown
What did you just say
What did you just say
You said something
Something that I already said
I smell like both of us
You smell like both of us
Revel in our sated lust
Open your eyes and watch me bust
It's the pecking order, back of the line
Pecking order, back of the line
Pecking order, back of the line
Climb up to the top, jump off and do a face plant
Another societal breakdown
Another societal breakdown
Another societal breakdown
And I don't need it around, I'm the king of the town
What did you do to me
I gotta get another hit off your energy
I'm cruising in neutral, you came into my life
And bam, kicked it up a big notch
What did you do to me, what did you do to me
I gotta get another hit off your energy
I dropped in from the top
Took off and carved a big slice
Another societal breakdown
Another societal breakdown
Another societal breakdown
And I don't need it around, I'm the king of the...
