Cornelius · letra

And every generation's got The fearless few who can't be bought They don't take polls or look around They act on truth, and then they stand their ground
Come up and see the world stripped bare The free indeed They breathe a rarified air Yeah, they got spirit Yeah, they got game And some get christened With a righteous-sounding name
Cornelius
And every generation knows The doers do, the posers pose 'Cause every time the plop goes fizz Another yes-man gets his
Come up and see the big man's boss The mind clears out when you're taking up the cross Yeah, his burden's easy No, it don't chafe It's God's safe harbor Why play it safe?
Cornelius
Core-strong like a centurion I wanna be Cornelius Core-strong like a centurion I wanna be Cornelius His kneel is real His kneel is real What rhymes with Cornelius? Helium
The "cor" is before a kneel, a kneel The "i" is an "e" in us, in us He's ready to fight but not to fuss We like, we like Cornelius
And history proves the axiom Surface skimmers choke on scum Who's calling deep? Who opens wide? Who put the just in justified?
Check, check it out - the view you get It's God's high-wire There isn't any net Show a little spirit Show you got game Show you know We know, we know You know what's in a name
He's ready to fight But not to fuss Cornelius
He isn't a wuss He never was Cornelius
