Here's the lyrics to Slipknot's The Chapeltown Rag:
Read all about it if you wanna know… Read all about what they want you to know
EVERYTHING IS GOD ONLINE… and it’s as evil as it gets
This is not another trick: either Follow or Repent
(NO CHOICE) get infected by a vertical event- check the meter, check the watch
Are they ever gonna stop?
Runnin out of daylight, Nighttime’s better
But we know how to handle the truth motherfucker
Scandalous know it all- feedback chamber
Nobody wants the proof- they want a number
WE DON’T DENY WHAT IS WRONG WITH OUR LIVES
WE CAN’T DECIDE WHAT IS LEFT OF OUR RIGHT TO SILENCE OUR REMAINS
…Buried in the back and I’m sick and alive …Hollow as a breath, the further you dive
Oh, How I Missed Your Honesty- You Never Miss With Your Intensity
You’re Gonna Need a New Disguise-Vessels Burst, Veins Release
Just Slide Into The Nearest Lie
All the ligatures are getting tight, like a style
Murder another mouth before the trial
Scalpel and then you scalp em to fucking death
Kills for the other vampires and surrogates
It’s a ploy for attention and evidence
All your fucking monsters are flaws in your common sense
Do the dance while the shovels are breaking dirt
Everybody mind your fuckin business or you get hurt
WE DON’T DENY WHAT IS WRONG WITH OUR LIVES
WE CAN’T DECIDE WHAT IS LEFT OF OUR RIGHT TO SILENCE OUR REMAINS
…Buried in the back and I’m sick and alive …Hollow as a breath, the further you dive
Oh, How I Missed Your Namaste-You Never Miss With Your Integrity
You’re Gonna Need a New Disguise-Vessels Burst, Veins Release
Just Slide Into The Nearest Lie
Read all about it if you wanna know… (Everything Is God Online)
Stoned- like a Beast- on a Chain- Lookin Dead- Feelin Strange- What the Fuck-
I’m Material to sew into the stains- like a catalogue of pain- like a martyr in restraints- I can kill- with a will- and it’s stronger every day- I’m a knife- I’m a gun- I’m a slit- I’m a scar- I’m a scream- I’m a death- I’m a threat- I’m afraid- that you will never understand I’m not the same- you better call the triple 9 I want a face- that you can only recognize I’m afraid- I’m afraid- I’m afraid- I’m afraid…
WHEN EVERYTHING IS GOD ONLINE… NOTHING IS
