Lyrics of Override by Slipknot
verse
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
verse
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
Oh
We are the override
verse
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
Oh
We are the override, yeah
verse
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
verse
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
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
Oh
We are the override, yeah
outro
Give up
Give up
Give up
Give up
Give up
Give up
Give up
Give up
Writer(s): James Root, Corey Taylor
