• Freak out
  And give in
  Doesn't matter what you believe in
  Stay cool
  And be somebody's fool this year
  'Cause they know
  Who is righteous, what is bold
  So I'm told
  
  Who wants honey
  As long as there's some money
  Who wants that honey?
  
  Hipsters unite
  Come align for the big fight to rock for you
  But beware
  All those angels with their wings glued on
  'Cause deep down
  We are frightened and we're scared
  If you don't stare
  
  Who wants honey
  As long as there's some money
  Who wants that honey?
  
  Let me out
  Let me out
  Let me out
  Let me out
  
  Tell me all of your secrets
  Cannot help but believe this is true
  Tell me all of your secrets
  I know, I know, I know
  Should have listened when I was told
  
  Who wants honey
  As long as there is some money
  Who wants that honey?
  
  Let me out
  Let me out
  Let me out
  Let me out Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind

• Yancy from HeavenCherub is the highest level of Angels they guard the Throne of God
• Marcus from Jesup, Ga.This song is epic.... The humble buildup turning into a full throttle display of blistering distortion and then that gorgeous riff begins only to shift gears ( I think the key actually changes) this is when I get goosebumps and feel the energy through my soul. Then Billy comes in with that oddly beautiful voice ! I love the lyrics especially " beware of .. all those angels with their wings glued on " Plenty of those to look out for. So Billy your a musical genius!!!
  
• Jj from Manassas, VaGreat song on Rockband!!
• Matt from Houston, TxThe whole album was epic
• Austin from Smallsville,new England, --This song is featured on Rock Band. And yes I did like this song before rock band came out so don't accuse me of being a poser.
• Poke from Happyville, AzIt makes sense now that I've read the meaning and the lyrics. "Who wants that honey, as long as there's some money." Basically saying why not get rich by "selling-out" instead of staying poor.
• Brian from Phoenix, AzCherub refers to a class of angels
• Shaun from Nunya, Ncas awesome of a song as this song, I'm suprised that no one has commented on what they think is the meaning.
  
  It sounds like a song about struggling with life, religious faith (which I tend to believe is about the christian religion from his songs) and the world and wishes there wasn't that struggle to deal with. Seems like there is a conflict between what he believes and what he is told.
  
  Who wants honey?
  as long as there is some money?
  Who wants that honey?
  
  let.... let me out
• V-starr from ?????????, MiThis song is on GH3. It rocks
