No wonder Metallica wrote such a rousing patriotic anthem like 'Don't tread on Me' from their self titled album !!

Hetfield was asked in a 1993 Rolling Stone interview, if he considered himself to be a "libertarian":
"Don't Tread on Me" was quotes from military people back in the Revolutionary War. I didn't come up with too much of the shit on my own. It's about a flag, a snake and a symbol. There's nothing wrong with being proud of where you're from. There's some patriotism in there, yeah... I'm pretty conservative on a lot of things. This new tax thing doesn't make sense to me. I don't know what the goal is. The middle-class people really suffer for it.
Hetfield is also listed as one of about 20 identified "Republican Rock Stars," by the Arkansas Project. (Also compiled by NYC "Libertarian Punk" blogger Todd Seavey). The list includes: Alice Cooper, Ted Nugent, Skunk Baxter (of Steely Dan), Gene Simmons, Bob Segar, Kid Rock, Danny Elfman (Oingo Boingo), and Pete Dinazio of Smithereens. Notably, Hetfield in accepting the award singled out fellow Republican Rockers Ted Nugent and Gene Simmons as favorites of his for future induction into the Hall.

Lyrics:
don't tread on Me.
said Don't tread on Me.
Liberty or death, what we so proudly hail
once you provoke her, rattling of her tail
never begins it, never, but once engaged...
never surrenders, showing the fangs of rage
said don't tread on me
so be it
threaten no more
to secure peace is to prepare for war
so be it
settle the score
touch me again for the words that you'll hear evermore...
don't tread on me
love it or leave it, she with the deadly bite
quick is the blue tongue, forked as a lightning strike
shining with brightness, always on surveillance
the eyes they never close, emblem of vigilance
ooh, No, No, No.
said don't tread on me
so be it
threaten no more
to secure peace is to prepare for war
so be it
settle the score
touch me again for the words that you'll hear evermore...
don't tread on me
so be it
threaten no more
to secure peace is to prepare for war
liberty or death, what we so proudly hail
once you provoke her, rattling of her tail
so be it
threaten no more
to secure peace is to prepare for war
so be it
settle the score
touch me again for the words that you'll hear evermore...
don't tread on me
