Thumbing through the pages of my fantasies
Pushing all the mercy down, down, down
I wanna see you try to take a swing at me
Come on, gonna put you on the ground, ground, ground

Why are you trying to make fun of me?
You think it's funny?
What the fuck you think it's doing to me?
You take your turn lashing out at me
I want you crying with your dirty ass in front of me

All of my hate cannot be found
I will not be drowned by your thoughtless scheming
So you can try to tear me down
Beat me to the ground
I will see you screaming

Thumbing through the pages of my fantasies
I'm above you, smiling at you, drown, drown, drown
I wanna kill and rape you the way you raped me
And I'll pull the trigger
And you're down, down, down

Why are you trying to make fun of me?
You think it's funny?
What the fuck you think it's doing to me?
You take your turn lashing out at me
I want you crying with your dirty ass in front of me

All of my hate cannot be found
I will not be drowned by your thoughtless scheming
So you can try to tear me down
Beat me to the ground
I will see you screaming

All my friends are gone, they died (gonna take you down)
They all screamed, and cried (gonna take you down)

I've got my body, got my body back against the wall
I've got my body, got my body back against the wall
Gonna take you down

[repeat 2x]

I've got my body, got my body back against the wall
I've got my body, got my body back against the...

All of my hate cannot be found
I will not be drowned by your thoughtless scheming
So you can try to tear me down
Beat me to the ground
I will see you screaming
All of my hate cannot be found
I will not be drowned by your thoughtless scheming
So you can try to tear me down
Beat me to the ground
I will see you screaming

    General Comment:why the oldest comments were placed at the front?
    I think the most updated ones should be placed at the front.

    General Comment:I was shocked at how powerful this song is, i've never heard Amy's voice like this before, it's a pretty good cover.

    General Comment:Okay, I have never heard The KoRn version (although they are good), but I really like this song, I did a quiz involving songs, which was IF YOUR LIFE WAS A MOVIE, WHAT WOULD THE SOUNDTRACK BE? My friend did it and the song for her first day of school was this song. Mine was Heavily Broken by The Veronicas. lol

    General Comment:This Evanescence version sounds more powerful to me, although this song really isn't fitting for Evanescence in my opinion.

    The (original) Korn version is slightly slower and sounds really crude and clumsy to me, like Jonathan is just yelling stuff (which is what a load of faceless bands like System Of A Down do). Amy Lee makes the song so elegant despite what the song is about. It might be the piano, but it's definitely her voice too. An please take no offence, people, I'm just speaking my mind.

    I prefer this cover version to the original!

    General Comment:Korn and Evanescence have a similar problem; great vocals but mediocre instrumentals.
    Anyway Korn is one of my favourite bands, I don't mind evanescence but I'm not a big fan of this cover, except maybe some of the vocals near the end of the song. Overall though I don't think Amy can sing it well, maybe I'm just too used to Jonathan.
    It's kind of annoying that evanescence fans that never heard the original hear this and are all 'omg was she raped?'
    This song is not about rape.. Not literal rape, anyway. Too many people see the word and assume it's talking about sexual abuse.

    General Comment:John Davis liked the cover.
    And yes, Amy is a huge fan of Korn.
    For all you tools having a go at them for swearing- does it really matter?
    Amy swears in real life- Don't we all?
    Why is it suddenly such a problem if she says FUCK in a song?
    [and ass, depending on what you reckon it says]
    Havent heard the Korn version as of yet, coz I only just heard this one, but I'm about to...
    Anyway
    Excellent cover.
    Amy's amazing no matter what she does
    {as is Korn}
    Evanescences covers are all great.
    Including heartshaped box...
    I'm pretty sure I've commented on that one too. Its just so pathetic that all you knobs come to the evanescence lyrics and bitch about them
    Why bother? You're only going to get critisized by the actual fans.
    Everyones got different taste in music... just deal with it.
    Just because you like/dislike a certain band or genre doesnt make you a better person...

    Just my 2 cents.

    General Comment:Its a great song...redone by a good bad...but...i think the sang may be to Hard for them. No offence to Ev. Fans but..come on. ANd don't diss the KoRn version bacause it "choppy" or doesn't flow. Thats how it was ment to be, please before comment on the song listin to a ffew songs by KoRn that might help. But i agree is was a good cover but i think they should have done a softer copy...Like...Make Me Bad or Make Belive. to name some. But if Jon Davis like it ( i want to the the intrveiw where he said it ) Then i gues its ok the the people that it really matters to...

    ANd if when reading this is doen't comeout . Huge Fan of KoRn, Been sence 94'.

    p.s I know there or spelling errors but i'm tired and really don't care...


    p.s.s I hope this helped even tho it pretty much restated something alll ready said...


    P.s.s

    Just re read and To the Person who said Clown was realted to thie song. WTF? Go look up the meaning the to are very very very far apart!!

    Thanks for reading!
