Slipknot - (Sic) + LYRICS

I'm not going to get my hopes up until I get album art, a title, and release date out of the eight guys, so until we all know for sure that there will be a fifth Slipknot album, I'm sticking with what I've got, no more and no less.  I'll always prefer their first two albums over the last two for the heavy-thrashing-chaotic nu metal that got me good when I was in high school.  I still remember when my mom bought me their self-titled debut, begrudgingly.  "(Sic)" might be the best song off that whole album, and perhaps their best work as a band of nine.  It's heavy, be forewarned, but by god, it's good.  Corey Taylor screams the whole song (well, maybe 95%) with as much power in the end as the beginning, and Jim, Mick and Paul (RIP) slay on the guitar and bass work.  The lyrical work of "(Sic)" is what really makes it a masterpiece of the turn of the millennium, but I'll leave you with that...

Here comes the pain
Enemy, show me what you wanna be
I can handle anything
Even if I can't handle you
Readily, either way it better be
Don't you fucking pity me
Get up, get off
What the hell am I saying?
I don't know about malevolent
Sure as hell decadent
I want somebody to step up, step off
Walls, let me fall
Fuck you all
Get a grip, don't let me slip
'Til I drop the ball

Fuck this shit, I'm sick of it
You're going down, this is a war
Fuck

Who the fuck am I to criticize
Your twisted state of mind
You're leaving me suspect
I'm leaving you grotesque
Feels like a burn from which you never learn
Cause and effect, you jealous ass
Press your face against the glass, suffer
Fuck this shit, I'm sick of it
You're going down, this is a war

I've just begun
It's about that time, gotta get mine
I've just begun
It's about that time, gotta get mine
I've just begun
It's about that time, gotta get mine
I've just begun
It's about that time, gotta get mine

You can't kill me
'Cause I'm already inside you
You can't kill me
'Cause I'm already inside you
You can't kill me
'Cause I'm already inside you
You can't kill me
'Cause I'm already inside you

Sic, sic, sic, sic
