  General Comment:To be true with that Duke guy (If he is still pathetic enough to be reading this shit.) I really am a goth, and I really am a Satanist. Korn, is NOT a satanic band. Far from it. Mayhem, Marduk, Behemoth, Gorgoroth THESE ARE SATANIC BANDS! I was Brain washed as a child in school to follow Christainty like a sheep. As I grew older I started to see the Truth (IMO). So I'm a Satanist now, what of it? We don't really eat babies and sacrifice virgins and drink their blood. We are like most other religions (Except Christanity which is all "Shun The Heretic!" "Kill the Muslims" "Gays and Unbelievers will Suffer and burn in a fire untill the end of time!") we are actually a peace loving religion.
  
  Back to the case of Korn Being Satanic...
  Korns lyrics are mainly about bullying at school and stereotyping (Which I can relate to).
  Let Me Enlighten You:
  
  "Anger inside, comes within my body.
  Why do you hit me? What have I done?
  You tried to hit me!
  Try and hit me again, if you like!
  Throw your hate at me with all your might!
  Hit me cause I'm strange. hit me!
  Tell me I'm a pussy and your harder then me...
  What's with you boy? Think hard!"
  
  While satanic bands sing about...well I don't know SATAN?!?!?!
  
  Go Listen To Linkin Park and CRY

  General Comment:This song is the anthem for people who are social outcasts or otherwise distant or out of the loop because they're different as a result of an unfortunate upbringing filled with odd trauma that messed with his social/etc. development(, aka his pedo father). At least, that's the way the speaker feels it is for him since he feels like he has to pretend about himself and/or that the misfortunate outcome that is he is freakish to see and that the trama killed something inside him, maybe his conscience, and it's so visible to everybody. In social situations, he feels his unusualness puts him on a leash as some kinda fool/freak. He might still be going through said traumatic times that make him not up to social par and his life is what makes him a freak, or the lyrics are a contemplation on his childhood.
  Perhaps he lacks a conscience due to the traumatic upbringing due to it having died through it, and that's what makes him socially a freak. Aka, this song is a response to "you sick freak, do you even have a conscience?"

    I interpret it as saying that it's "easy" to "take advantage of" the "cheap fuck." Like, it's not expensive or hard to "lay" (have sex with) them.
    
    But that's just how I interpret it.
    Hope I helped!

  General Comment:i always thought when he was beatboxing it or whatever he was saying "ao fine something i'll never know somethings aint fine fine something i'll never know something's aint fine..." it just makes mroe sense to the theme of the song and how it is his protest against corporate america, consumerism, and how the music industry uses musicians like freaks on leashes for profit telling them where and what to do...just an idea.
