Subject: LYRICS: "Korn" by Korn (Part 1)
These are the lyrics for Korn's debut as I hear them. I've seen them live,
this is what I hear live and on the album. The song at the end is "Sean
Olson," which is on the promo for "Shoots and Ladders."
-BLIND-
ARE YOU READY?
This place inside my mind
A place I like to hide
You don't know the chances
What if I should die?
A place inside my brain
Another kind of pain
You don't know the chances
I'm so blind
Blind
Blind
Another means I find
To escape the pain inside
You don't know the chances
What if I should die
A place inside my brain
Another kind of pain
You don't know the chances
I'm so blind
Blind
Blind
Demon .... give in inside .... to
Hint of a life that seems to be
A lost reality that I can never find
No way to reach my inner self
I stay this low, how deep can I go
In the ground that I lay
If I don't find a way to
Sift through the grey that cloud my mind
This time I'm not just sure it's between lines
I can see I can see I'm going blind
I can see I can see I'm going blind
I'm blind
-BALL TONGUE-
There you are alone
With no hope of ever having
Something to be proud of
Something earned without begging
Yes I know you're a person
A person close to me
Who do you think you are
... ... ... ... for me
BALL TONGUE ........................
BALL TONGUE ........................
BALL TONGUE ........................
BALL TONGUE Look what they've done to me
Why are you at home
Buried in your self-pity
Why do you insist on
Living the life... out of me
Yes I know you're the person
The person that took time with me
Does that give you the right to extract your life from those around me?
(Same as last chorus, except it's "Those fucking bastards,
they took, they took, look what they've done to me")
You were my pride
Where does a friendship end?
I'm not gonna give in
How can you ball tongue doubt me but not again
BALL TONGUE
I'm ..... ..... by my friends
BALL TONGUE
.............................
BALL TONGUE
.... .... sycophant .....
BALL TONGUE
.............................
BALL TONGUE
They ...... unto me
BALL TONGUE
..... .... get outside
BALL TONGUE
..........................
You're a sycophant you're a sycophant you're a sycophant
(Repeated screaming and unintelligible stuff)
-NEED TO-
I, I am confused fighting myself
Wanting to give in; Needing your help
Skin cold with fear, feel it when we touch
Outside don't know you, but inside I'm fine
Can you see it in me, skin color from touch
Each day confronted with what I have done
You pull me closer; I push you away
You tell me it's okay; I can't help but feel the pain
*I hate you- why are you taken
*I loved you- I feel so helpless
*Why's it you- Ripping my insides each time you
*Why do I cry
Why do I really need to
Why
Why, fuck you bitch
Need to need to need to need to
Fu-ck fu-ck fu-ck fu-ck fu-ck
*CHORUS*
Why do I fuckin' need to
Fu-ck fu-ck fu-ck fu-ck fu-ck fu-ck fu-ck
Slut
-CLOWN-
"Within... my body!"
"Four I said, you faggot piece of shit on the drums."
"Four? Four!"
"Hey, what are you talkin about Ross?"
"The toms-toms go.."
"So you're saying there's no clicks?"
"Just fucking do it, dammit!"
"I'd get twist, I wish we could put twist on the fucking tape."
"Wanna hear it?"
"Fuck you! Fuck you!"
"Okay."
"You piece of shit."
Anger inside
Was within my body
Why you hate me
What have I done
You tried to hit me
*Dream to me again if you like
*Throw your hate at me with all your might
*Hit me cause I'm strange hate me
*Tell me I'm a pussy and you're harder than me
*What's with you boy, think hard
*Tied to body too I know you are
*Scared to be honest be yourself
*A cowardly man
I don't .... well
Trying to be what's not within me
Look into my eyes
I am free, you're just a wannabe
*CHORUS*
To come out
Hit me clown because I'm not from your town no
Hit me clown
Clown you ain't SHIT turn around can't you face me
Clown you ain't SHIT turn around can't you face me
*CHORUS*
Just a fucking little just a fucking little
Just a fucking little just a fucking little
-DIVINE-
I hide only to defy you
Take away the only life inside you
I'll say your face to everyone
Inside I've just begun
You think I'm out to scare you
I'm only out to prepare you
For when you stop and turn around
Your body's going down
*You're gonna waste your time
*Your life will soon be mine
*You're definitely one of a kind
*Your suffering 'cause of me is divine
Tell me why you never liked me
Tell me once that you'd fight me
Pull back and wait for the perfect time
To take what's rightfully MINE
You think you don't but defy me
You said you don't but defy me
You wage your dumb on anyone
Oh well
*CHORUS*
Well fuck you I'm fed up with you
I'm not as good as you fuck you I'm better than you
*CHORUS*
Did you really think you'd beat me at my own game
You tried to say what you got
Red ripping out your brain
-FAGET-
Here I am different in this normal world
Why did you tease me make me feel upset
Fucking stereotypes feeding their heads
I am ugly, please just go away
*I can see inside you fine
*This blessing in disguise
*Why do you treat me this way
*Make the hate stay
As I walk I can never seem to escape
All the laughing, all the pain
If you were me, what would you do?
Nothing prob'ly, you'd just throw me away
*CHORUS*
FAGGOT FAGGOT FAGGOT
Here I am different in this normal world
Why did you tease me make me feel upset
Fucking stereotypes feeding their heads
I am ugly, please just go away
*CHORUS*
FAGGOT
Pussy
I'm just a pretty boy, whatever you call it
You wouldn't know a real man if you saw it
It keeps going on day after day some
You FAKE and you .... don't want none
I'm sick and tired of people treating me this way every day
Who gives a fuck, right? Now I've got something to say
To all the people that think that I'm STRANGE
That I should be outta here locked up in a CAGE
You don't know what the hell is up now anyway
You've got this pretty boy feeling like I'm enslaved
To a world that never 'preciated SHIT
YOU CAN SUCK MY DICK AND FUCKIN' LIKE IT
?????
I'm just a pretty boy; I'm not 'sposed to fuck a girl
I'm just a pretty boy living in this fucked up world
All my life, who am I? All my life, who am I?
All my life, who am I? ALL MY LIFE, WHO AM I?
I'm just a faggot
I'm just a faggot
I'm just a faggot
I'm a faggot
I'm not a faggot (what am i?)
I'm not a faggot (what am i?)
I'm not a faggot (what am i?)
You motherfucking queers

-SHOOTS AND LADDERS-
Ring around the rosy, pocket full of posies
Ashes, ashes we all fall down
Ring around the rosy, pocket full of posies
Ashes, ashes, we all fall down
*Nursery rhymes are said
*Verses in my head
*Into my childhood they're spoon-fed
*Hidden violence revealed
*Darkness that seems real
*LOOK AT THE PAGES THAT CAUSED ALL THIS EVIL
One two, buckle my shoe, three four, shut the door
Five six, pick up sticks, seven eight, lay 'em straight
London bridge is falling down, falling down, falling down
London bridge is falling down, my fair lady
*CHORUS*
Knick knack paddy whack give a dog a bone
This old man came rolling home
Knick knack paddy whack give a dog a bone
This old man came

Mary had a little lamb whose fleece was white as
Mary had a little lamb whose fleece was white as snow

Mary had a little lamb whose fleece was white as snow

-PREDICTABLE-
Go
I can in every way, escape the pain I feel inside
It comes with me, evil thoughts just creepin' through my mind
Who are you to say, that I can't speak what's on my mind
You run away, it's so predictable
I can in every way, feel the ... that tingle up inside
Too blind to see, they've been missing sorrow all their lives
You run away, to the cover of their pointless lies
You ask me, it's so predictable
*Well I'm gonna try
*Or I'm gonna die
*I'm gonna try
Another day, silence overwhelms my mind
Who's to say, if I have the time or why
Should I pray, for all the hate to go away
Another day, I can never break free
You wait for me, I call out to you
Another day, I'll live forever
Should I?
*CHORUS*
FUCK
I'm gonna try
Should I?
FUCK
I'm gonna try
Should I?
I'm gonna try, or I'm gonna die
I'm gonna try
-FAKE-
I can't stand the sight of you
I can't stand what you put me through
Your life's a lie that you hide
Isn't that too being you inside
I can't stand oh the thought of you
I can't stand all the things you do
What do you try to justify
You were just too scared to be you inside
*LET it all go
*LET it all go
*Look at you, all I see is a man too afraid to really be
*Look at you, all I see is a man too afraid to really be
I can't stand what you put me through
I can't stand even the thought of you
Your secret lies that you hide
Isn't that too being you inside?
*CHORUS*
You try so hard to be wanted
False emotions tells you fronted
I think being a person relies on one thing
Be yourself, let you come through
You're too fake to really be
Be yourself, let you come through
You're too fake to really be
SEE YOURSELF LET YOU COME THROUGH
FAKE, FAKE, FAKE, FAKE
FAKE
You been ... you been ...
LET IT ALL GO
-LIES-
I like to search inside for the things that you all hide
What's the problem? Can't you seem to
Search through those problems that haunt and taunt you
I smile while you're afraid
You're on while your soul pays
*Do you ever stand outside your fears
*Thinkin' about your life, thinkin' about your inner fears
*Do you ever stand up outside your fears
*Thinkin' about your life, thinkin' about your inner fear
I like to search inside for the things that you all hide
What's the problem? Can't you seem to
Open your body and let me touch you
*CHORUS*
I want you to see lies without disguise
They're all the things that hurt you, they're all these useless lies
I want you to feel, the you wrung up inside
I said I took you in, I'll throw you out instead
I try, you win, my life
Is ripping your heart out and destroying my pain
GO
*CHORUS*
-HELMET IN THE BUSH-
"Hello? Es tacaco? Eres caco? Well, you know, you fuckin' call me
tacaco? Okay?"
I keep asking, what you're like
It is disturbing, this isn't mine
Days keep passing, a much at a time
I don't feel right, please god let me sleep tonight
*Everyday confronted, circumvents giving in
*I just wonder why
*Want to give it up, but I can't escape
I keep asking, will you can please try?
It is haunting, this takes your mind
Days keep passing, line after line
I don't feel right, please god don't let me die tonight
Die tonight, die tonight, die tonight
*CHORUS*
Please god, please god
Please god help me
Please god free me
Please god help me from my painful situation
Please god help me
Please god free me
Please god save me from my painful situation
Want to give it up but I know I can't escape
Please god don't let me give in tonight please god oh
Please god don't let me give in tonight please god oh
Please god don't let me give in tonight don't let me die
Please god don't let me give in tonight
Don't let me die
-DADDY-
Mother, please forgive me.
I just had to get out all my pain and suffering.
Now that I'm all done, remember I will always love you.
I'm your son.
Little child, looking so pretty
Come out and play, I'll be your daddy
Innocent child, looking so sweet
Rape in mind, and then your flesh I'll eat
*YOU RAPED i feel dirty

-SEAN OLSON-
Watch your lie.
One less fake smile
Ask me and your mind runs wild
This game you play I liken to hate
You expect to grab a child
You think I'm innocent not wild
Take me, let's see how much I'm tame
*Never found a middle but I think I'll ever know
*How to when there's nobody 'round to tell to brace yourself
*I'll show you fears, pleasure pain is my control
*Left your body laying there, white flesh dripping in fear
One less fake smile
Hatred rips through your insides
This game we play, it's imitation ....
You think it's all a lie
They want to destroy our lives
Ignorance will .... your life into pain
*CHORUS*
I wish I could take control
I wish I could let go
I wish I could break this mold
Inside I'm so fucking cold
(i'm coming, i'm coming, i'm coming on you)
(i'm coming, i'm coming, i'm coming on you)
One less fake smile
Ask me and your mind runs wild
This game you play I liken to hate
You expect to grab a child
You think I'm innocent not wild
Take me, let's see how much I'm tame
*CHORUS*
I wish I could lose control
I wish I could let go
I wish I could break this mold
Inside I'm so fuckin' cold
Wait is the sound so the truth unfolds
I am done, that was so fun
This was real, how did it feel
It feel, when
I was coming, was coming, was coming on you
I'M COMING I'M COMING I'M COMING ON YOU
I'M COMING I'M COMING I'M COMING ON YOU
