The Missing

From The Amalgamut2002

Written by Richard Patrick

Produced by Ben Grosse

Lyrics

The Missing

[Verse 1: Richard Patrick]

Hey God told us that we made a very big sin

You don't know where to begin

He says turn the other cheek

But that seems kind of weak

I just wanna beat up

Beat up the meek

He says you'd be a better man

If you'd stick with the plan

But I don't think I can

Not with that kind of man

[Chorus:]

You love to be cruel

You love to be cruel

I'm not a good tool

'Cause you love to be cruel

[Verse 2:]

What now?

The cross has been greased

But I don't feel the heat

Nor the peace in the street

Everybody feels it

So just bury it in the pit

With the best of the sick

Ideological shit

[Chorus:]

You love to be cruel
