Before I Forget (Live at MSG 2009)

[Spoken: Corey Taylor]
This song is called "Before I Forget"
Here we fucking go man
New York
Let me see you bitches jumpin', come on

[Intro: Corey Taylor]
Go!
Oh yeah

[Verse 1: Corey Taylor & Crowd]
Stapled shut, inside an outside world
And I’m sealed in tight, bizarre but right at home
Claustrophobic, closing in and I'm catastrophic, not again
I'm smeared across the page and doused in gasoline
I wear you like a stain yet I’m the one who's obscene
Catch me up on all your sordid little insurrections
I've got no time to lose, I'm just caught up in all the cattle

[Pre-Chorus 1: Corey Taylor]
Locked in clutch
Pushed in place
Hold your breath
Listen!

[Chorus: Corey Taylor & Crowd]
I am a world before I am a man
I was a creature before I could stand
I will remember before I forget
(Come on people!)
Before I forget that!
I am a world before I am a man
I was a creature before I could stand
I will remember before I forget
Before I forget that!

[Verse 2: Corey Taylor]
I'm ripped across the ditch and settled in the dirt
And I wear you like a stitch yet I'm the one who's hurt
Pay attention to your sordid little insurrections
I've got no right to win, I’m just caught up in all the battles

[Pre-Chorus 2: Corey Taylor]
Pull the strings
Throw the shapes
Hold your breath
Listen!

[Chorus: Corey Taylor & Crowd]
I am a world before I am a man
I was a creature before I could stand
I will remember before I forget
(Come on people)
Before I forget that!
I am a world before I am a man
I was a creature before I could stand
I will remember before I forget
Before I forget that!

[Bridge: Corey Taylor]
Make some fuckin’ noise!
My end, it justifies my means
All I ever do is delay
My every attempt to evade
The end of the road
And my end, it justifies my means
All I ever do is delay
My every attempt to evade
The end of the road

[Chorus: Corey Taylor & Crowd]
I am a world before I am a man
I was a creature before I could stand
I will remember before I forget
Before I forget that!
I am a world before I am a man
I was a creature before I could stand
I will remember before I forget
(One more time)
Before I forget that!
I am a world before I am a man
I was a creature before I could stand
I will remember before I forget
Before I forget that!

[Outro]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh
