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

-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

    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
