  • Everyone is looking at me
    I can't get out of bed, there is evil in my head
    Everyone, just let me be
    Because when I hit the stage, it is gone and I am free

    Goddamn, you say you'll get up for me
    You're the crowd, come on, give it back to me
    You won't beg for me, beg for me, beg for me
    Goddamn, you say you'll get up with me
    You're the crowd, come on, give it back to me
    You won't beg for me, be there for me, beg for me

    Tell me, how could this be?
    I am going insane, and I could not have my pain
    Everyone, please let me be
    Because when I hit the stage, it is gone, and I am free

    Goddamn, you say you'll get up for me
    You're the crowd, come on, give it back to me
    You won't beg for me, beg for me, beg for me
    Goddamn, you say you'll get up with me
    You're the crowd, come on, give it back to me
    You won't beg for me, be there for me, beg for me

    I feel the shame, I'm not insane
    The things I feel now aren't the same
    Who gives a fuck if my life sucks?
    I just know one day I won't give up

    Everyone, just let me be
    Everyone, just let me be
    Everyone, just let me be

    Goddamn, you say you'll get up for me
    You're the crowd, come on, give it back to me
    You won't beg for me, beg for me, beg for me
    Goddamn, you say you'll get up with me
    You're the crowd, come on, give it back to me
    You won't beg for me, be there for me, beg for me
    Goddamn, you say you'll get up for me
    You're the crowd, come on, give it back to me
    You won't beg for me, beg for me, beg for me

    Be there for me
    Be there for me
    Be there for me
    Be there for me Writer/s: Brian Welch, David Randall Silveria, James Christian Shaffer, Jonathan Howsman Davis, Reginald Arvizu

  • Dreadlockd Warlock from Frisco, TxAs you said at the end of this song Jonathan, us fans will always “be there for” you, well at least I know I will.
  • Zero from Nowhere, NjDoes anybody know how Munky (or Head) got to make that Bass-Synth type sound with their guitar?
  • April from Houston, TxI have read many interviews of Jonathan Davis talking about the album Issues. He states that he was going through a lot of problems in his head and the album was a way of dealing with them by putting it down on paper and getting it out of his system by making the album.A quote he made regarding the album Issues is "Issues deal with the issues I had, the fears I had and it isn't a 'nice' album but fears and depression are not particularly nice." One good website to get quotes and other information about Jonathan Davis (and other famous people) is: http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/authors/j/jonathan_davis. That is the website I got the above quote.
  • J from Gp, TxThis song was on Issues. Issues was Korns last good album in many fans eyes. I think after this Jon was starting to change and so was the band. The band changed a little too much. The new untitled album just doesn't sound much like Korn. Head needs to come back into the band.
  • Max from New York, NyThere are actually two seperate sheets for the verses. The band performed it live numerous times differently then the later recorded version on Issues.
