Korn - Good God

2008-10-30T07:54:00.000-07:00

Lyrics:
You came into my life
Without a single thing
I gave into your ways
Which left me with nothing
I've given into smiles
I fell for all your games
I wish so bad right now
I hadn't let you win

[Live your life, insecure
I feel the pain of your needles
As they
In the sea of life, you're just a minnow
Why don't you get the fuck out of my face?! Now (x2)
shit into my brain]

I scream without a sound
How could you take away
Everything that I was
Made me your fuckin' slave
Your face that I despise
Your heart inside that's gray
I came today to say
You're fucked in every way

In the sea of life, you're just a minnow
Live your life, insecure
I feel the pain of your needles
As they shit into my mind

You stole my life
Without a sigh
You suck me dry

Why don't you get the fuck out of my face, now? (x4)
Why don't you get the fuck out of my face?! Now! (x4)

In the sea of life, you're just a minnow
Live your life, insecure
I feel the pain of your needles
As they shit into my mind

You stole my life
Without a sigh
You suck me dry
