Goddamn, even Superman shot himself
Blew his mind couldn't save the wealth
Maybe he read the Sunday paper
Murder front page death and rape

I can't see through the haze of the hazy
It's the little things that drive a man crazy

You know what I mean I know why he did it
Too slow to outwit it, get it
His cape was red, but so was his blood
Man of steel fell with a thud

Taken out by a villain who's willin' to stand in line
And do the time you hated 'cause life brings death that life has created

And do you understand when I say it's the little things that break the man
By the way are you feeling it bit by bit
Piece by piece they're stealing it
Bite the dust hit the deck they're dealing it
You've got to give it up

Sometimes I feel so stupid
Sometimes I feel so low
Sometimes I think of all the things that I'll never know
Sometimes I don't know what to do
But most motherfuckers don't have a clue

Open your eyes see out the inside the point of the point of the point you can't hide from the shit that's all around funky ghetto of the mind that brings you down
Can't shake it 'til you give it up, sell your soul, or don't give a fuck

Takin' you out superhero style your finger's on the trigger
Wishing you were bigger all the while you've got the soul with rigor mortis
Like Travis Bickle said, "Suck on this"
You've got the soul with rigor mortis
Suck on this
The grip on the neck and the snake bite kiss

    General Comment:No kidding. I don't think there was a single comment about the actual song...

    I'd doublecheck, but I'm not prepared to wade through all that again.

    General Comment:Ah... 5 years ago raged an epic struggle between some slipknot maggot, and some guy trying too hard to prove some point about some bullshit. Lets just say I think PM5K is decent, and Slipknot is bullshit.
    And please, for the record, if you want to say a band is 'just pure pop', please dont pick the band which is the current definition of pop-metal. Every little 11 year old+ prick that thinks they're hardcore in any way, unless raised on hair metal, or otherwise... I guess it would be better to say 'with exceptions' will say they like Slipknot. Throw in a few shitty metalcore bands, and Bring me the Horizon (lololo Whore-izon) and you've got the shitty emo-scene asshole.

    I suppose the lyrics could be better, but I guess there are few bands whose lyrics are at the high esteem that I hold 1989-1995 era Marilyn Manson at...
    But hey, you know, you can always remind yourself that it isn't ICP.

    General Comment:Wow.
    That little comment war was really fuckin' hilarious. Too bad it's over now, though... We should probably start another one.

    LOLOLOLOLOL I LUUUUV AVRL LAVEEN!!!!111oneeleven

    Honestly though, Slipknot IS pretty tasteless. I mean, they lost me at "THE WHOLE WORLD'S MY ENEMY".

    I actually enjoy this song.

    WAIT WASN'T THIS SITE ABOUT SONG MEANINGS HOLY CRAP.

    General Comment:I dont care what all of you say Powerman 5000 is ok, slipknot is ok. The only reason why pariah and bejiita are arguing is they feel a reason to argue because they have no real reason to talk on here with maturity. So you two grow up and tell what the song means to you not argue about what band is better, they're both ok ( i like slipknot better, but still are not that great).

    And by the way i like this song alot( wow that was hard to type what my opinion to the song is not the band).

    what is all that nonsense? i'm not a betting man, but i'll bet you created that witty user-name just to shadow your high levels of estrogen and ridiculously frequent menstrual cycle with small penis insults.

    General Comment:Dude pariah get a fucking life, you come to some band you don't even like just to trash the page? BTW just shut up and stop arguing with Bejiita, all you do is call him anus when you get owned by something called logic. I also wonder how much time you spent formulating your pathetic insults. E-Penis feeling too small? Take you and your flaming shit to some place else.
