Songwriter: Slipknot Jim Root Corey Taylor

Producer: Slipknot Greg Fidelman

[Verse 1]
The ghosts have given up, familiar haunts have had enough
Too much thought will give you doubt, now they found you
It's safer in a cage, they can tell you what to say
All your dreams come with a price, so they own you
But what did you expect?
Was it too much to protect?
Did you understand they had selfish intentions
When they were pulling you in opposite directions?

[Chorus]
You don't know the hell that's coming
Everybody get on the ground
You don't know the hell that's coming
Everybody get on the ground
We are the override
We are the override

[Verse 2]
The dead don't know, the dead are lonely, a fascination fades
When this mercy execution says it's over
You follow as preferred, now their plans are undeterred
Who can bring them in to supersede? it's over
Even hate starts out as love
Sometimes when it's all you want
Maybe satisfaction will take you for granted
When all that's left is the emotion you abandoned

[Chorus]
You don't know the hell that's coming
Everybody get on the ground
You don't know the hell that's coming
Everybody get on the ground
We are the override
We are the override

[Verse 3]
You clawed out from nothing, and I sent you back
Fought to the metal and law's what you lacked
Covered in sores, you cannot be the one
You are the answer to why we have risen

[Bridge]
You are not the way
You are judged to be afraid
You are simple and unchanged
We believe you should give up
Give up, give up, give up, give up
Satisfaction will take you for granted
When all that's left is a life you abandoned

[Chorus]
You don't know the hell that's coming
Everybody get on the ground
You don't know the hell that's coming
Everybody get on the ground
We are the override
We are the override

Slipknot

Slipknot is a metal group based in Des Moines, Iowa. They were formed in 1995, and are well known for their live shows and their image of nine masked performers. They are one of the most important bands of the NWOAHM (New Wave of American Heavy Metal).

The band released their demo album Mate, Feed, Kill, Repeat on October 31st, 1996. Slipknot went through several lineup changes before settling with their most known Sid Wilson, Joey Jordison, Paul Gray, Chris Fehn, Jim Root, Craig Jones, Shawn “Clown” Crahan, Mick Thompson, and Corey Taylor.

This core line-up rose to the spotlight after their self-titled debut in 1999 which contained the breakout singles “Wait and Bleed” and “Spit it Out.” They would go on to release Iowa (2001), The Subliminal Verses (2004), and All Hope Is Gone (2008), and .5: The Gray Chapter (2014) and We Are Not Your Kind (2019). The band has sold millions of records worldwide.
