Yah James does curse a bit in his songs, look at just the Master Of Puppets ablum's lyrics. A couple songs from there have one or two and also So What and other that were said.

This song kicks ass, The solo is just so fucking cool. You can just imagine Hammett rising on some huge kind of plinth as he plays it. Very good though,one of the best songs on Reload. That bluesy opening riff is fucking awesome.

im with Kookkie on this one, its about living every day of your life to the fullest. And yes, James has cussed in songs before (Fuel, Whiplash, Am I Evil, So What, Damage Inc.) i know theres a few more, but im just naming some of them. I doubt the sexual inuendo, because Carpe Diem means "sieze the day" and i dont see how any of it is anything sexual. And whoever submited this fucked up the lyrics pretty bad.

p.s. - "shit" is that the first time James has ever cursed in one of his songs?!?!? I doubt it, but I've never noticed it!

Take it from the fanatic the lyrics should look somethin like this: Hit dirt Shake tree Split sky Part sea Strip smile Lose cool Bleed the day And break the rule Live, win Dare, fail Eat the dirt And bite the nail Then make me miss you Then make me miss you So wash your face away with dirt It don't feel good until it hurts So take this world and shake it Come squeeze and suck the day Come carpe diem baby Draw lead Piss wine Sink teeth All mine Stoke fire Break neck Suffer through this Cheat on death Hug the curve Loose the time Tear the map And shoot the sign Then make me miss you Oh yeah Then make me miss you So wash your face away with dirt It don't feel good until it hurts So take this world and shake it Come squeeze and suck the day Come carpe diem baby Yeah, suck it Live, win Dare, fail Eat dirt Bite the nail Strip smile Lose cool Bleed the day And break the rule Hug the curve Loose the time Tear the map And shoot the sign Then make me miss you Come on, come on Then make me miss you So wash your face away with dirt It don't feel good until it hurts So take this world and shake it Come squeeze and suck the day Come make me miss you Come carpe diem baby Come carpe diem baby

it's actually "cheat on death" which would keep that number of cussing down....

OMG just go to google, type "define: carpe diem" without the " marks and it'll tell you it literally means "sieze the day" so no more argueing!

nah dude one of the lines in Fuel is "fuck it man, White knuckles tight!" so it may be the second or third but your right they don't do alot of swearing in the actual lyrics of the songs...they seem to reserve most of that for when they're actually onstage or doing an interview..
