[Verse 1]
I hide only to defy you
Take away the only love inside you
I'll see your face through everyone
Inside I've just begun
You think I'm out to scare you?
I'm only out to prepare you
For when you stop and turn around
Your body's going down

[Chorus]
You're gonna waste your time
Your life will soon be mine
You're definitely one of a kind
Your suffering 'cause of me is divine

[Verse 2]
Tell me, why you never liked me?
Tell me once that you'll fight me
Bold, and I'll wait for the perfect time
To take what's rightfully mine
You play the dumb to defy me
You say that you don't but defy me
You wait, you don't want anyone
Oh well

[Chorus]
You're gonna waste your time
Your life will soon be mine
You're definitely one of a kind
Your suffering 'cause of me is divine

[Bridge]
Know what? Fuck you!
I'm fed up with you!
I'm not as good as you?
Fuck no, I'm better than you!

Know what? Fuck you!
I'm fed up with you!
I'm not as good as you?
Fuck no, I'm better than you!

Know what? Fuck you!
I'm fed up with you!
I'm not as good as you?
Fuck no, I'm better than you!

Know what? Fuck you!
I'm fed up with you!
I'm not as good as you?
Fuck no, I'm better than you!

Know what? Fuck you!
I'm fed up with you!
I'm not as good as you?
Fuck no, I'm better than you!

Know what? Fuck you!
I'm fed up with you!
I'm not as good as you?
Fuck no, I'm better than you!

Know what? Fuck you!
I'm fed up with you!
I'm not as good as you?
Fuck no, I'm better than you!

Know what? Fuck you!
I'm fed up with you!
I'm not as good as you?
Fuck no, I'm better than you!

[Chorus]
You're gonna waste your time
Your life will soon be mine
You're definitely one of a kind
Your suffering 'cause of me is divine

[Outro]
Did you really think
You'd beat me at my own game?
You tried to see what you got
Me ripping at your brain!

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.”
