[James Hetfield, spoken]
Well, we're still here
Hey, did you miss us?
There must be one more you guys want to hear, man
What is it?

What?
I already know what we're fucking playing, so whatever
It might be the one you want
This song you might know
You might not know and, who gives a shit?
We dig the song
It's the B-side of, uh...
I think it's "Eye of Beholder" or something
It's an older tune called "Breadfan"

[Intro]
Go!

[Verse 1]
Breadfan, open up your mind, open up your purse
Open up your bones, never, nevеr gonna lose it
Breadfan, take it all away, nеver give an inch
Got to make a mint, gotta make me a million
Breadfan, you got it wrong, some long time friend's
Gonna lose it in the end, who's a fool?
Seagull, give it all away, stay a bird, man
Ghost, stay what you want to be
Yeah
Yeah!
