[Verse 1]
Walk away when you're angry
Brace yourself, there's nothing to gain
Old enough to know the outcome
Blood more blood, it's always the same
Aren't we cool and aren't we calm?
For facing death, we run head-on
Aren't we cool and aren't we calm?
For God, we've suffered for so long
Aren't we cool and aren't we calm?
For facing death, we run head-on

[Chorus]
Do what they say!
Or they take it away!
I'd rather be dead than carry on!

[Verse 2]
Bite your lip, don't be cursing
Mustn't take God's name in vain
Blunt your knife, pull the curtain
Impulses you must refrain
Aren't we cool and aren't we calm?
For facing death, we run head-on
Aren't we cool and aren't we calm?
For God, we've suffered for so long
Aren't we cool and aren't we calm?
For facing death, we run head-on

[Chorus]
Do what they say!
Or they take it away!
I'd rather be dead than carry on!

[Bridge]
So I carry on with this burden
I can't remember anything
I can't be certain
Aren't we cool and aren't we calm?
For facing death, we run head-on

[Chorus]
Do what they say!
Or they take it away!
I'd rather be dead than carry on!

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.”
