[Verse 1]
I know it's not like me to
Hold back, but this time I knew
You must be silent to increase the volume
In your head blood run red

[Chorus]
I'm a spectator, the motivator!
Shut up, shut up and do it to yourself!
I'm just an innocent bystander!
I'm a spectator, the motivator!
Shut up, shut up and do it to yourself!
I'm just an innocent bystander!

[Verse 2]
You ripped your own self in two
Swear I had nothing to do
With what's been done
You know you can't but you can
In your head blood run red

[Chorus]
I'm a spectator, the motivator!
Shut up, shut up and do it to yourself!
I'm just an innocent bystander!
I'm a spectator, the motivator!
Shut up, shut up and do it to yourself!
I'm just an innocent bystander!

[Verse 3]
Standing at the edge here
Enough for me to hover by the bit here
Enough you see I miss you with my head - fear
So wrong that they will never reap our deaths clear

[Bridge]
Enough is enough!
Enough is enough!
Enough is enough!
Enough is enough!
Enough is enough!
Enough is enough!
Enough is enough!

[Chorus]
I'm a spectator, the motivator!
Shut up, shut up and do it to yourself!
I'm just an innocent bystander!
I'm a spectator, the motivator!
Shut up, shut up and do it to yourself!
I'm just an innocent bystander!
I'm just an innocent bystander!
I'm just an innocent bystander!
I'm just an innocent bystander!

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.”
