[Intro: Chester Bennington]
I wanna be in another place
I hate when you say you don’t understand
I wanna be in the energy, not with the enemy
A place for my head

[Verse 1: Mike Shinoda]
I watch how the moon sits in the sky in the dark night
Shining with the light from the sun
The sun doesn’t give light to the moon assuming
The moon's gonna owe it one

It makes me think of how you act to me you do
Favors then rapidly
You just turn around and start asking me about
Things that you want back from me

[Pre-Chorus: Mike Shinoda]
I'm sick of the tension, sick of the hunger
Sick of you acting like I owe you this
Find another place to feed your greed
While I find a place to rest

I'm sick of the tension, sick of the hunger
Sick of you acting like I owe you this
Find another place to feed your greed
While I find a place to rest

[Chorus: Chester Bennington & Mike Shinoda]
I wanna be in another place
I hate when you say you don't understand
You'll see it's not meant to be
I wanna be in the energy, not with the enemy
A place for my head

I wanna be in another place
I hate when you say you don't understand
You'll see it's not meant to be
I wanna be in the energy, not with the enemy
A place for my head

I wanna, I wanna
I wanna, I wanna

[Verse 2: Baba Zumbi]
Two, two, three, three
Yo, yo, yo

Gimme Energon to keep me calm
You and your mom keep all the dram
Used to be a team, passed that baton
But you flop that bomb as you drop that bomb

Take it to the john in your Babylon
Flushed down with the sound that you carry on
I don’t really give a dang, you pissed on my lawn
Took a dump like a punk, now the battle’s on

So sick of you stressing, sick of you fessing
Sick of you acting like I owe you some
Find another place to feed your face
If you don’t, we gon’ bump, get it up, get crunk

Sick of you stressing, sick of you fessing
Sick of you acting like I owe you some
Find another place to feed your face
If you don’t, we gon’ bump, get it up, get crunk

[Chorus: Chester Bennington & Mike Shinoda]
I wanna be in another place
I hate when you say you don't understand
You'll see it's not meant to be
I wanna be in the energy, not with the enemy
A place for my head

I wanna be in another place
I hate when you say you don't understand
You'll see it's not meant to be
I wanna be in the energy, not with the enemy
A place for my head

[Bridge: Chester Bennington]
You try to take the best of me
You try to take the best of me, go away
You try to take the best of me
You try to take the best of me, go away

You try to take the best of me
You try to take the best of me, go away
You try to take the best of me
You try to take the
Go!

[Outro: Chester Bennington]
Go away! You try to take the best of me!
Go away! You try to take the best of me!
Go away! You try to take the best of me!
Go away! You try to take the best of me!

Go away! You try to take the best of me!
Go away! You try to take the best of me!
Go away! You try to take the best of me!
Go away! You try to take the best of me!
Get away from me!

Go away! You try to take the best of me!
Go away! You try to take the best of me!
Go away! You try to take the best of me!
Get away from me!

Linkin Park

Hybrid Theory isn’t just the title of Linkin Park’s chart-topping debut album, but a career mission statement.

From day one, the same six players (lead vocalist Chester Bennington, drummer/percussionist Rob Bourdon, guitarist Brad Delson, bassist Dave ‘Phoenix’ Farrell, DJ/Programmer Joe Hahn, and keyboardist, guitarist, and co-lead vocals Mike Shinoda) built the band by fusing all their favorite styles of music into one unmistakable signature sound. With each album, Linkin Park defiantly challenges themselves and their fans by blasting into new musical territory. After setting the template for rock that incorporated hip-hop influences with Hybrid Theory and Meteora, they shifted gears completely and defied expectations with the polychromatic Minutes to Midnight, and again with the esoteric A Thousand Suns, before melding a piece of them all into 2012’s LIVING THINGS. With their 2014 release and heaviest offering in years, The Hunting Party, Linkin Park manage to capture their ever-innovative spirit with a hunger seldom seen in bands on their seventh album. One More Light (2017) is an interesting personal album, filled with a lot of emotion.

Unfortunately, on July 20, 2017, Chester unexpectedly died by suicide, shocking and saddening both fans and his own band members alike.
