Opium of the People Lyrics


Watch those idiosyncrasies
Watch all the idiots fall on me
Running out of ways to get outta the way
Take another shot just to stay the sameBut I need some balance, back it off
Fill your lungs 'til it makes you cough
Tell me everything's gonna be alright
'Cause I don't think, I'll make it through tonightThe only way is all the way
The only way, is all the way
The only way
(The only way)
Is all the way
(Is all the way)
The only way
(The only way)
Is all the wayOh my God
It's judgment day and I'm not prepared
Everybody's out there's runnin' scared
So take a little bit off the top

I don't care, just make it stopI won't give another soul to you
I won't give another life to you
You don't have to stop
Stop, stop, stopDo one thing and say something cryptic
But the styles always clash
One thing I know for sure
Hypothetical won't work anymoreOne wrong move and they will pound
My nails are tight inside my wrists
This sacrament is sacrilege and sentimental
Deity experimental faith is accidentalI won't give another soul to you
I won't give another life to you
I won't give another thought to you
I won't give anymore my hope to you

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
There is more than one artist with this name:

1) Slipknot is an American alternative/nu metal band from Des Moines, Iowa. Formed in 1995, the group was founded by percussionist Shawn Crahan and bassist Paul Gray. After several lineup changes in their early days, the band consisted of nine members for the greater part of their tenure: Sid Wilson, Paul Gray, Joey Jordison, Chris Fehn, Jim Root, Craig Jones, Shawn Crahan, Mick Thomson, and Corey Taylor. However, the death of Paul Gray on May 24, 2010, left the band with only eight remaining members. Former guitarist Donnie Steele will be the band's touring bassist in 2011.
Slipknot is well known by their attention-grabbing image, aggressive music style and chaotic live shows. The band had somewhat of a meteoric rise to success following the release of their self-titled debut album, Slipknot, in 1999. The 2001 follow-up album Iowa further increased the band's popularity. After breaking for their first hiatus, Slipknot returned in 2004 with Vol. 3: (The Subliminal Verses) and once again in 2008 with their fourth album All Hope Is Gone, which debuted at the top spot on the Billboard 200. The band has also released one live album, 9.0 Live, and four DVDs.
