[Chorus 1]
I am going insane
This shit is such a pain
I cannot maintain as the shit gnaws at my brain
I wish you could be me
And then this you would see
How tired I am and how she kept the best of me
At least you could look at me
While you are raping me
You are taking my life
And sellin' it tee hee
Why should I complain
At least it helps my pain
I am very cool now
And it doesn't blot my brain

[Chorus 2]
I am going insane
This shit is such a pain
I cannot maintain as the shit gnaws at my brain
I wish you could be me
And then this you would see
How tired I am and how you kept the best of me
At least you could look at me
While you're raping me
At least you could look at me
While you're raping me
You fucking pussy!

Korn

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.”
