You better give me what I want
Or I’ll bleed on you
You don’t give me what I need
And I’ll come for you
Better keep me on your side or I’ll find you in the night
I got your name and your number and I’ll set you all ablaze
Best give me what I want
Or I’ll come for you
Yes, I’ll come for you
If you reject me, I take what I want
Disrespect me and you get burned
Best keep me satisfied or you know I’ll eat you alive
If you reject me, I take what I want
I got a ball and chain
And I’ll hunt for you
I ain’t got no name
I’ll look out for you
Revenge, it ain’t a sin
Look out, I’m comin’ in
Kick me when I’m down, stand up without a sound
Better play my game
Or I’ll bleed on you
Yes, I feed on you
If you reject me, I take what I want
Take what I want
Disrespect me and you get burned
No, I don’t want your money or greed
You better give me just what I need
If you reject me
I take what I want
Hey, hey, take what I want
If you reject me, I take what I want
Disrespect me and you get burned
No, I don’t want your money or greed
You better give me just what I need
If you reject me
I take what I want
Hey, hey, take what I want
Take what I want
Take what I want
Unpacking the Raw Energy of “Rejection”
AC/DC’s “Rejection” is a hard-hitting anthem that channels the band’s signature rebellious spirit and relentless drive. The lyrics are a fierce declaration of self-worth and vengeance, with the narrator demanding respect and loyalty—or promising retribution. Phrases like “If you reject me, I take what I want” and “Disrespect me and you get burned” capture the song’s aggressive tone, positioning the protagonist as someone who refuses to be sidelined or dismissed. The vivid imagery of hunting, revenge, and taking control reinforces AC/DC’s classic themes of power and defiance, making “Rejection” an electrifying addition to their catalog.
