  • Fuck you all

    Running out of ways to run
    I can't see, I can't be
    Over and over and under my skin
    All this attention is doing me in

    Fuck it all, fuck this world
    Fuck everything that you stand for
    Don't belong, don't exist
    Don't give a shit
    Don't ever judge me

    Picking through the parts exposed
    Taking shape, taking shag
    Over and over and under my skin
    All this momentum is doing me in

    Fuck it all, fuck this world
    Fuck everything that you stand for
    Don't belong, don't exist
    Don't give a shit
    Don't ever judge me

    And don't you fuckin judge me

    Pain

    You got all my love, livin' in your own hate
    Drippin' hole man, hard step, no fate
    Show you nothin', but I ain't holdin' back
    Every damn word I say is a sneak attack
    When I get my hands on you
    Ain't a fucking thing you can do
    Get this 'cause you're never gonna get me
    I am the very disease you pretend to be

    I am the push that makes you move
    I am the push that makes you move
    I am the push that makes you move
    I am the push that makes you move

    Fuck it all, fuck this world
    Fuck everything that you stand for
    Don't belong, don't exist
    Don't give a shit
    Don't ever judge me

    Fuck it all, fuck this world
    Fuck everything that you stand for
    Don't belong, don't exist
    Don't give a shit
    Don't ever judge me Writer/s: Christopher Fehn, Corey Taylor, Craig Jones, Michael Crahan, Mickael Thomson, Nathan Jordison, Paul Gray, Sidney Wilson

  • Dumbass from The BackroomsZack, do you honestly think that the song is about the U.S? Because, it's not, it's about life or smth like that, not war or any of that bs. Also, it should be the new international anthem.
  • Zack from Noblesville, InThis should be the new National Anthem letting the rest of the world know: Don't f--k with America b/c we will prevail in war and in everything else!
  • Matt from Portsmouth, United KingdomSlayer have no rhythm, their guitar riffs, drumming and vocals are all over the place in their songs... apart from Raining Blood and Cult.

    Maggot till the end!
  • Steven from San Antonio, TxI agree with luke. Slipknot is good but they have nothing on slayer. Slayer made but the power riffs and power chords your hearing. So praise to your anthem but all praise be to slayer!!!!!!!!!!1
  • Andrew from Linmdenhurst, NyThis is one of there best songs they play live
  • Justin from Franklin, VaLuke shut up, everyone has their one "anthem" and this song might be his
  • Jerimias from Nuuk, GreenlandAfter I've listened to this song on a bad day, it's suddenly not a bad day anymore.! I feel crazy, careless and f*cking free!
  • Luke from Manchester, EnglandMike, it's the phrase for metalheads under the age of 14 everywhere who haven't heard Slayer
  • Vanessa from Orlando, FlCorey wrote this song while he was on his graveyard shift at the adult emporium. He called his friend up and said I'm gonna be screaming this in front of kids and they'll be screaming it back at me. His friends are like yeah right, you'll be playing in bars for your whole life. Look where he is. THIS SONG IS YOUR NEW NATIONAL ANTHEM!
  • Sid from Desmoines, IaTHIS SONG IS YOUR NEW NATIONAL ANTHEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • Jeremy from Laffeyette, LaYour just saying it is the new national anthem because he said it on the live version..by the way i know I spelled Lafayette wrong
  • Jake from Milwaukee, Wione of my favorites by slipknot, personally, their version on slipknot 9.0 live, is really great, i love it.

    anything live by slipknot is really intense. seeing them live was really amazing. corey looked like a god up on stage, and when they played this song i went crazy.
  • Mike from Lisbon, NdA GREAT SONG, and as it has been called before, the new national f--king anthem. The chorus is like the phrase for all metal heads everywhere
