Enemy - Show me what you wanna be
I can handle anything
Even if I can't handle you
Readily - Either way it better be
Don't you fuckin' pity me
Get up, get off...
What the hell am I sayin'?
I don't know about malevolent
Sure as hell decadent
I want somebody to step up, step off
Walls! Let me fall! FUCK YOU ALL!
Get a grip, don't let me slip 'til I drop the ball
I - I want it all!
Fuck this shit, I'm sick of it
You're goin' down, this is a war!
Who the fuck am I to criticize your twisted
state of mind?
You're leavin' me suspect - I'm leavin' you grotesque
Feels like a burn from which you never learn
Cause and effect, you jealous ass
Press your face against the glass - SUFFER!
I - I want it all!
Fuck this shit, I'm sick of it
You're goin' down, this is a war!
I've just begun
It's about that time
Gotta get mine
YOU CAN'T KILL ME
CUZ I'M ALREADY
INSIDE YOU
SIC
I can handle anything
Even if I can't handle you
Readily - Either way it better be
Don't you fuckin' pity me
Get up, get off...
What the hell am I sayin'?
I don't know about malevolent
Sure as hell decadent
I want somebody to step up, step off
Walls! Let me fall! FUCK YOU ALL!
Get a grip, don't let me slip 'til I drop the ball
I - I want it all!
Fuck this shit, I'm sick of it
You're goin' down, this is a war!
Who the fuck am I to criticize your twisted
state of mind?
You're leavin' me suspect - I'm leavin' you grotesque
Feels like a burn from which you never learn
Cause and effect, you jealous ass
Press your face against the glass - SUFFER!
I - I want it all!
Fuck this shit, I'm sick of it
You're goin' down, this is a war!
I've just begun
It's about that time
Gotta get mine
YOU CAN'T KILL ME
CUZ I'M ALREADY
INSIDE YOU

but the intro "7426" is some woman commenting on the "manson family murders" where she says "the whole thing i think is sick" and its been mixed and stuff...
during one of the murders charles manson wrote in blood Helter (sic) skelter ....helter skelter is a song by the beatles which manson misinterpreted as to meaning something to do with the apocolipse....but yeah im guessing a lot of that album is manson related :)
Personally, I think at the time of writing Slipknot viewed themselves as a cancerous musical movement,something that people in the very bland late '90s music business would want to remove.
They were 'inside' people already, they were inside the minds people who were listening to their music in a virus-like way. You can pick up on the same themes, though greatly intensified, in other songs - first one that springs to mind is The Heretic Anthem, I'm specifically thinking of the "I'm teaching your brightest they're listening, clamoring..." lyric. Clearly meaning teaching the brightest young people,the future, who're 'listening, clamouring' for Slipknot (The Heretic Anthem is a very anti music business song generally). Just my two cents.
(By the way, at what point does the lyric "I - I want it all!" get sung? Maybe an earlier version of something)
When I first heard it I put it
on replay and listened to it over
and over.
One of their best songs
"Enemy - Show me what you wanna bestarted
I can handle anything
Even if I can't handle you", I feel that this part of the song really backs up my point
