• Did you never gave a damn in the first place?
  Maybe it's time you had the tables turned
  'Cause in the interest of all involved I got the problem solved
  And the verdict is guilty
  
  Man nearly killed me, steppin' where you fear to tread
  Stop, drop and roll, you were dead from the git-go
  Big mouth fucker, stupid cocksucker
  Are you scared of me now? Then you're dumber than I thought
  Always is, and never was, foundation made of piss and vinegar
  Step to me, I'll smear ya, think I fear ya? Bullshit
  Just another dumb punk chompin' at this tit
  Is there any way to break through the noise?
  Was it something that I said that got you bent?
  Gotta be that way if you want it
  Sanity, literal profanity hit me
  
  Spit it out
  All you wanna do is drag me down
  All I wanna do is stamp you out
  Spit it out
  All you wanna do is drag me down
  All I wanna do is stamp you out
  
  Maybe it's the way you gotta spread a lotta rumor fodder
  Keepin' all your little spies and leaving when you realize
  Step up fairy, I guess it's time to bury your ass with the chrome
  Straight to the dome, you heard me right, bitch, I didn't stutter
  And if you know what's good, just shut up and beg, brother
  Backstab, don't you know who you're dissin'?
  Side swipe, we know the ass that you're kissin'
  
  Biggity-biggidy bitch boy, halfway houser
  Don't hear shit, 'cause It keeps gettin' louder
  Come on, and get a face full 'o tactic
  Lipping off hard, goin' home in a basket
  You got no pull, no power, no nothin'
  Now you start shit? Well, ain't that something
  Payoffs don't protect, and you can hide if you want
  But I'll find you, comin' up behind you
  
  Spit it out
  All you wanna do is drag me down
  All I wanna do is stamp you out
  Spit it out
  All you wanna do is drag me down
  All I wanna do is stamp you out
  
  'Bout time I set this record straight
  All the needlenose punchin' is making me irate
  Sick o' my bitchin' fallin' on deaf ears
  Where you gonna be in the next five years?
  The crew and all the fools, and all the politics
  Get your lips ready, gonna gag, gonna make you sick
  You got dick when they passed out that good stuff
  Bam, are you sick of me? Good enough, had enough
  
  Fuck me, I'm all out of enemies
  Fuck me, I'm all out of enemies
  Fuck me, I'm all out of enemies
  Fuck me, I'm all out of enemies
  Fuck me, I'm all out of enemies
  Fuck me, I'm all out of enemies
  Fuck me, I'm all out of enemies
  Fuck me, I'm all out of enemas
  
  Spit it out
  All you wanna do is drag me down
  All I wanna do is stamp you out
  Spit it out
  All you wanna do is drag me down
  All I wanna do is stamp you out
  
  Spit, spit, spit
  Spit, spit it out Writer/s: Christopher Fehn, Corey Taylor, Craig Jones, Michael Crahan, Mickael Thomson, Nathan Jordison, Paul Gray, Sidney Wilson

• IssamealecI love nu metal, it's my entire life
  
  If it stayed, I'd never leave it
  If that turned around
  I'd grieve the special dirty things
  That we used to talk about
  I mean that loving you is strange
  And adored by me throughout
  Oh no, it's you again

• T Dogg from Somewhere, Neone of the best songs from slipknot
• Will from Des Moines, Ia...I can't figure out which station did this...I'm thinking 103.3 ...but i dont know
• Billy from Otway, Ohi never saw the video. who played Jack?
• Jeremy from Laffeyette, LaI totally agree with William. And that's all I'm saying.
  
• Phillip from Las Cruces, NmIt's very interesting to see arguments about music. Genres are meaningless now, there are so many different sub-genres and bands, what they all do, is play music. I myself like the old Slipknot. REAL Slipknot fans won't/don't care about someone else's opinion, what basically Slipknot stood for. Let people have their opinions, I don't care if you hate or love Slipknot, I do like them, and they aren't the best out there.
• Yo-mama from Las Vegas, NvOk William so you dont like slipknot thats your opinion. but if thats true then why are you looking up slipknot songs. and also Led Zeppelin is good but Black Sabbath are the creators of Metal.
• Hayley from Mckinney, Txslipknot is awesome. i think that alot of their songs have a message like other bands but alot more people can relate to things the band has gone through..
• Jake from Sydney, Australiathe "overcaffenaited hyper mix" is wa better than the original. i saw these guys live and they rocked hard. gold!
• William from Ocean Springs, MsSlipknot is a great band, but there are so many better metal bands to listen to.
• Gordy7 from Havaland, TxSlipknot has really evolved as a band.
