Before I Forget (Live at MSG 2009)

[Spoken: Corey Taylor]

This song is called "Before I Forget"

Here we fucking go man

New York

Let me see you bitches jumpin', come on

[Intro: Corey Taylor]

Go!

Oh yeah

[Verse 1: Corey Taylor & Crowd]

Stapled shut, inside an outside world

And I’m sealed in tight, bizarre but right at home

Claustrophobic, closing in and I'm catastrophic, not again

I'm smeared across the page and doused in gasoline

I wear you like a stain yet I’m the one who's obscene

Catch me up on all your sordid little insurrections

I've got no time to lose, I'm just caught up in all the cattle

[Pre-Chorus 1: Corey Taylor]

Locked in clutch

Pushed in place

Hold your breath

Listen!

[Chorus: Corey Taylor & Crowd]

I am a world before I am a man

I was a creature before I could stand

I will remember before I forget

(Come on people!)

Before I forget that!

I am a world before I am a man

I was a creature before I could stand

I will remember before I forget

Before I forget that!

[Verse 2: Corey Taylor]

I'm ripped across the ditch and settled in the dirt

And I wear you like a stitch yet I'm the one who's hurt

Pay attention to your sordid little insurrections

I've got no right to win, I’m just caught up in all the battles

[Pre-Chorus 2: Corey Taylor]

Pull the strings

Throw the shapes

Hold your breath

Listen!

[Chorus: Corey Taylor & Crowd]

I am a world before I am a man

I was a creature before I could stand

I will remember before I forget

(Come on people)

Before I forget that!

I am a world before I am a man

I was a creature before I could stand

I will remember before I forget

Before I forget that!

[Bridge: Corey Taylor]

Make some fuckin’ noise!

My end, it justifies my means

All I ever do is delay

My every attempt to evade

The end of the road

And my end, it justifies my means

All I ever do is delay

My every attempt to evade

The end of the road

[Chorus: Corey Taylor & Crowd]

I am a world before I am a man

I was a creature before I could stand

I will remember before I forget

Before I forget that!

I am a world before I am a man

I was a creature before I could stand

I will remember before I forget

(One more time)

Before I forget that!

I am a world before I am a man

I was a creature before I could stand

I will remember before I forget

Before I forget that!

[Outro]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh
