This is the year where hope fails you
The test subjects run the experiment
And the bastard you know is the hero you hate
But cohesing, it's possible if we try
There's no reason, there's no lesson, no time like the present
Tell me right now, what have you got to lose?
What have you got to lose? except your soul?
Who's with us?
I fight for the unconventional
My right, and it's unconditional
I can only be as real as I can
The disadvantage is, i never knew the plan
This isn't just a way to be a martyr
I can't walk alone any longer
I fight for the ones who can't fight
And if I lose, at least I tried!

(We) We are the new diabolic
(We) We are the bitter bucolic
If I have to give my life, you can have it
(We) We are the pulse of the maggots!

I won't be the inconsequential
I won't be the wasted potential
I can make it as severe as I can
Until you realize, You'll never take a stand
It isn't just a one sided version
We've dealt with a manic subversion
I won't let the truth be perverted
And I wont leave another victim deserted

(We) We are the new diabolic
(We) We are the bitter bucolic
If I have to give my life, you can have it
(We) We are the pulse of the maggots!

Do you understand? (Yes)
Do you understand? (Yes)
Do you understand? (Yes)
Do you understand? (Yes)

Say it again say it again (we wont die)
Say it again say it again (we wont die)
Say it again say it again (we wont die)
Say it again say it again (we wont die)
Say it again say it again (we wont die)
Say it again say it again (we wont die)
Say it again say it again (we wont die)
Say it again say it again (we wont die)

We fight 'till no one can fight us
We live and no one can stop us
We pull when we're pushed too far
And the advantage is, the bottom line is
We never had to fight in the first place
We only had spit back in their face
We won't walk alone any longer
What doesn't kill us only makes us stronger

(We) We are the new diabolic
(We) We are the bitter bucolic
If I have to give my life, you can have it
(We) We are the pulse of the maggots!

Do you understand (yes)
Do you understand (yes)
Do you understand (yes)
Do you understand (yes)

Say it again say it again (we wont die)
Say it again say it again (we wont die)
Say it again say it again (we wont die)
Say it again say it again (we wont die)

    General Comment:I got a point to make...the Maggots are a family, and we take care of eachother during the shittiest parts of life. SlipKnoT has the most loyal fanbase ever. One that has helped prettymuch everyone, including me, out of drugs, depression, and suicide. Without SlipKnoT, and the Maggots...I''d be dead...

    and to all you haters...go call up the jonas brothers for some advice on living life.

    Stay (sic) Maggots,

    General Comment:First off, sort of hoping these lyrics are incorrect, because if they're not, I'm about to delete that song from my computer.

    Second off, what the hell are all of you kids doing insulting each other back and forth on the interwebs? Just say what you do or don't like about the song, and then go on. If you like people screaming in microphones while dressed up in the latest fashions, then this is for you. If you like the lyrics or sound, this is for you. If you don't like it, then just explain why with better reasoning than "ITS NOT THE GENRE I FAVOR SO IT SUCKS."

    My Opinion:i think this song fuckin rocks. i tell my friends and my enemies "I fight for the ones who can't fight
    And if I lose, at least I tried!" and they respect that. and so far i believe that part goes toward being friends and standing up for each other.
