[Intro: Corey Taylor with Clown]
Pain, made to order
Pain, made to order
Pain, made to order
Pain

[Verse: Corey Taylor]
I'm not the second coming, I'm the first wave
Better get an army, cuz the fire left me unscathed
You betcha bottom dollar I'm the top of the shit pile
So stick around, 'cause I'll get to you in just a few
Step off the achtung, get back or get stung
Idiotic sense of yourself, are you that dumb?
Entire legion of me, totalitarian
The one and only motherfucker, top of the world, man
'Cause I can't stand it, planned it, gonna crash-land it
In other words, consider me branded
Another version of me, another version of you
Both barrels, what you gonna do?

[Bridge: Corey Taylor]
All I hear is human noise
You made your own fucking choice
I belong to only me
Silence for my revelry
