[Verse 1]
Everyone is looking at me!
I can't get out of bed there is evil in my head
Everyone just let me be!
Because when I hit the stage, it is gone and I am free

[Chorus]
Goddamn, you say you'll get up for me!
You're the crowd, come on give it back to me!
You won't beg for me, beg for me, beg for me!
Goddamn, you say you'll get up with me!
You're the crowd, come on give it back to me!
You won't beg for me, be there for me, beg for me!

[Verse 2]
Tell me, how could this fade?
I am going insane, and I could not have my pain
Everyone, please let me be!
‘Cause when I hit the stage, and it is gone, and I am free

[Chorus]
Goddamn, you say you'll get up for me!
You're the crowd, come on give it back to me!
You won't beg for me, beg for me, beg for me!
Goddamn, you say you'll get up with me!
You're the crowd, come on give it back to me!
You won't beg for me, be there for me, beg for me!

[Verse 3]
I feel the shame I'm not insane!
The things I feel now aren't the same!
Who gives a fuck, if my life sucks?
I just know one day I won't give up!
Everyone just let me be
Everyone just let me be
Everyone just let me be

[Chorus]
Goddamn, you say you'll get up for me!
You're the crowd, come on give it back to me!
You won't beg for me, beg for me, beg for me!
Goddamn, you say you'll get up with me!
You're the crowd, come on give it back to me!
You won't beg for me, be there for me, beg for me!

Goddamn, you say you'll get up for me!
You're the crowd, come on give it back to me!
You won't beg for me, beg for me, beg for me!
Goddamn, you say you'll get up with me!
You're the crowd, come on give it back to me!
You won't beg for me, beg for me, beg for me!

[Outro]
Be there, for me
Be there, for me
Be there, for me
Be there, for me

Bakersfield friends James “Munky” Shaffer, Reginald “Fieldy” Arvizu and David Silveria formed the funk-rock band LAPD in 1989 and moved to Los Angeles with another friend Brian “Head” Welch as their roadie. Later, with Welch as second guitarist, the band named themselves Creep and recorded a demo with pal Ross Robinson.

However, when Shaffer and Welch visited family in Bakersfield, they met Jonathan Davis who added a darker, goth-tinged edge to the band’s heavy groove. Robinson

The band wasn’t dark yet; it had, like, killer grooves and good riffs, but there was some happy edge to it. And when (Davis) walked into the room, it went dark and goth. Basically, during the first song, to audition in the rehearsal room, he started freaking the hell out [laughs]. You couldn’t hear his voice, but you felt chills all over your body, and it was instantly like, “Oh my God, yeah – he’s the one.”
