[Intro]
HIV!

[Verse 1]
Here I am different in this normal world
Why did you tease me, made me feel upset?
Fucking stereotypes feeding their heads
I am ugly, please just go away

[Chorus]
HIV!
I can see it's hard to find
This blessing in disguise
HIV!
Why you treat me this way?
Made the hate stay

[Verse 2]
As I walk I can never seem to escape
All the laughing, all the pain
If you were me, what would you do?
Nothing, probably, you'd just throw me away

[Chorus]
I can see it's hard to find
HIV!
This blessing in disguise
Why you treat me this way?
HIV!
Made the hate stay

Faget!
Faget!
Faget!

[Verse 3]
Here I am different in this normal world
Why did you tease me, made me feel upset?
Fucking stereotypes feeding their heads
I am ugly, please just go away

[Chorus]
HIV!
I can see it's hard to find
This blessing in disguise
Why you treat me this way?
HIV!
Made the hate stay

Faget!
You'll see

[Bridge]
I'm just a pretty boy, whatever you call it
You wouldn't know a real man if you saw it
It keeps going on day after day son
You fake, if we don't want none
I'm sick and tired of people treating me this way every day
Who gives a fuck, right now I got something to say
To all the people that think I'm strange
And I should be out here locked up in a cage
You don't know what the hell is up now anyway
You got this pretty boy feeling like I'm enslaved
To the world that never appreciated shit
You can suck my dick and fucking like it!

[Scatting]

I'm just a pretty boy, I'm not supposed to fuck a girl
I'm just a pretty boy, living in this fucked up world
I'm just a pretty boy, I'm not supposed to fuck a girl
I'm just a pretty boy, living in this fucked up world

All my life, who am I?
All my life, who am I?
All my life, who am I?
All my life, who am I?
All my life, who am I?
All my life, who am I?
All my life, who am I?
All my life, who am I?
All my life, who am I?
All my life, who am I?
All my life, who am I?
All my life!

[Outro]
I'm just a faget!
I'm just a faget!
I'm just a faget!
I'm a faget!
I'm not a faget!
I'm not a faget!
I'm not a faget!
You motherfucking queers!

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.”
