Holier Than Thou Lyrics

No more the craps rolls out your mouth again
Haven't changed, your brain is still gelatin
Little whispers circle around your head
Why don't you worry about yourself instead
Who are you where ya been where ya from?
Gossip is burning on the tip of your tongue
You lie so much you believe yourself
Judge not lest ye be judged yourself

Holier than thou
You are
Holier than thou
You are
You know not
Before you judge me take a look at you
Can't you find something better to do
Point the finger, slow to understand
Arrogance and ignorance go hand in hand
It's not who you are it's who you know
Others lives are the basis of your own
Burn your bridges build them back with wealth
Judge not lest ye be judged yourself

Holier than thou
You are
Holier than thou
You are
You know not

Yeah who that hell are you?

Holier than thou
You are
Holier than thou
You are
You know not

What is the Meaning of Holier Than Thou?

Ever met someone who thinks they're the moral compass of the universe? Metallica's thrashing anthem takes aim at those self-righteous folks who love to point fingers but can't see their own flaws. With biting sarcasm, it calls out the hypocrisy of judging others while being blissfully unaware of one's own shortcomings. The song roars against gossipers whose lives revolve around tearing others down, reminding us that arrogance and ignorance often go hand in hand. So, before you play judge and jury, maybe take a good look in the mirror first. Rock on!
