LYRICS
------
There you are alone
With no hope of ever having
Something to be proud of
Something earned without begging
Yes I know you're the person
The person close to me
Who do you think you are
What more do you want from me?
Ball Toungue (ad lib)
Why are you at home?
Buried in your self-pity
Why do you insist on
Making a mockery out of me?
Yes, I know you're the person
The person who took time with me
Does it give you the right
To expect your life revolves around me?
Ball Toungue (ad lib)
You were my problem... (Where does our friendship end?)
You were my problem... (I'm not going to give in...)
How can you fucking doubt me? But not again... (There you are alone...)
Ball Toungue (ad lib)
when korn plays this song live, sometimes they sub "Lodi Dodi" by Slick
Rick in for the chorus. for those of you who don't know, Lodi Dodi goes
like this--
Lodi Dodi
We likes to party
We don't cause trouble
We don't bother nobody
We're
Just some kids who're on the mic
And when we rock up on the mic
We rocks the mic right

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official KORN tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
