Solid Snake
Solid Snake
Solid Snake
Can you hear what I'm saying?

All this time to kick 'em at it, watch your back
I'm gonna kick your ass, beat 'em, kill 'em all

Don't know what I'm gonna do,
Don't-don't know what I'm gonna do,
Don't know what I'm gonna do,
Don't-don't
Ah!

I didn't think it'd be like this
