[Intro]
Put your hands into the water
Let your mouth go sick and dry
Put your life into your death now
Let them sing until you die
Die, die, die, yeah
[Verse]
Radical rather than rhetorical, babble like an oracle
Why am I always in your debt?
Father and The Son and The Holy Ghost
Communist comatose, show me all the wagers are a bet
The middle of a nuclear winter is a modern achievement
Of the retro apocalyptic horde
Satan? You must be mistaken, there arе no more Satans
Only the bosses on thе board
Forget, deny, ignore, nice try, it's you
Regret, rely, remorse inside of you
Yeah
Maybe you've been down too long
Maybe you've been down too long
[Pre-Chorus]
The heart begins to suffer
When the soul has given up
And the flesh is barely more than bone
When no one else is listening
Only when you've had enough
Time to sing this dying song alone
[Chorus]
Put your hands into the water
Let your mouth go sick and dry
Put your life into your death now
Let them sing until you die
Die, die, die, yeah, hahahahaha!
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
(Maybe you've been down too long)
(Maybe you've been down too long)
Think hard, you bastards
You're gonna tell me why
If I don't get an answer
You're gonna sing and die
Think hard, you bastards
You're gonna tell me why
If I don't get an answer
You're gonna sing and die
[Pre-Chorus]
The heart begins to suffer
When the soul has given up
And the flesh is barely more than bone
When no one else is listening
Only when you've had enough
Time to sing this dying song alone
[Chorus]
Put your hands into the water
Let your mouth go sick and dry
Put your life into your death now
Let them sing until you die
Put your hands into the water
Let your mouth go sick and dry
Put your life into your death now
Let them sing until you die

Corey Taylor:
To me, it just seems like it’s all the outrage and none of the punishment. For the last few years it’s been very trendy to be offended and outraged by everything, and yet nothing happens – especially in my country, which is just fucking ridiculous. It’s almost like the tables have tur...
Corey Taylor:
That song is really about the death of empathy and humanity, because of how technology has pulled us out of social circles and social niceties, social anything. It’s the musical equivalent of bashing your head against a fucking wall.
