E
Push your foot to the floor
Don't need no more
You been kickin' around
While you're messin' about

 D                 A
Better catch her name
 D      A
Come on in
 D             A
Give me that thing
       D         A
That thing gone wild

Chorus:
E
War machine (war machine)
War machine (war machine)

Make a stand, show your hand
Call in a high command
Don't think, just obey
I'm like a bird of prey

Better catch her name
Come on in
Give me that thing
That thing gone wild

Chorus

 G      D          A  D A
Better watch your back
     E
And cover your tracks
 G         D                A   D  A
Kick your foot through the door
         E
Hit the deck, know the score
         G     D      A  D A
They're taken by surprise
            E
And here's mud in your eyes

 D            A            D            A
Misery's the name if you shoot 'em for gain
 D            A
Call of the wild
 D         A
Hurry for naught
       D         A
That thing gone wild

Chorus

Let's go

       D         A
That thing gone wild
