Apocalyptica ft. Corey Taylor-- I'm Not Jesus.. This Song Gets It Right.

Hey ATS,

Man this song is just really intense but really good. The lyrics are advocating for the voiceless-- all the kids who were taken advantage of by adults they should have been able to trust-- and not easy to take in but somebody should speak up for those who cannot.

And the sound is heavy, Corey Taylor's voice is incredible.

Lyrics below the video.



Dirty little secret
Dirty little lies
Say your prayers
And comb your hair
Save your soul tonight

Drift among the faithful
Bury your desires
Aborations fill your head
You need a place to hide
And I am

Do you remember me?
The kid I used to be
Do you remember me?

When your world comes
Crashing down I want to relive
(Good God he's looking down on me)
I'm not Jesus, Jesus wasn't there
You confess it all away but it's only # to me
(Good god he's looking down on me)
I'm not Jesus I will not forgive

No I won't
No I won't

I thought you were a good man
I thought you talked to god
You hippocratic, messianic
Child abusing, turn satanic

Do you remember me?
Do you remember me?
The kid I used to be
Do you remember?

Do you remember?

When your whole world comes undone
Let me be the one to say
I'm not Jesus you can't run away
And the innocence you spoiled

Found a way to live
(Good God he's looking down on me)
I'm not Jesus I will not forgive

I will not forgive
I want whatever you wanted
I will not forgive
I won't be whatever you wanted

Do you remember me
The kid I used to be
Not the same as I used to be
Oh do you remember me?

Noo

When your world comes
Crashing down I want to be there
(Good God he's looking down on me)
I'm not Jesus, Jesus wasn't there
You confess it all away but its only # to me
(Good God he's looking down on me)

I'm not Jesus I will not
I'm not Jesus I will not forgive
Ohh, I will not forgive yeah, yeah
No I will not forgive

Lets just hope we see the day that world comes crashing down.. look the foundation's cracking..

Good band. He's not Jesus but i'll bet he wishes he was. Jesus is the perfect Man.

S&F Love Corey and everything he touches. The man is great at his craft. Long time fan of Apocalyptica as well. Waay back from their first Metallica cover CD....yes CD!

Found this song when I was a frustrated teenager.
Still have it on my phone

Religion frustrated the hell out of me when I was younger.

I had their album a long time ago, i need another fix.

Corey is another great example of versatility. Definitely a great song! Badass, probably even by Jesus's own standards. Surely Jesus uses the term badass, right?

This song was very obviously addressing the pedophile Catholic priests. Very tough song-so real-and I agree-no forgiveness for hurting the innocents-ever. Horrid.

He's the reason they came up with it.

I've never heard of Corey or the band, but this song is great. Those lyrics are something. Very profound.

I'm not Jesus I will not 
I'm not Jesus I will not forgive 

He also sings for slipknot, much harder music, but the lyrics are also just as intense.
Always pleasntly suprised when people around here mention bands I enjoy.

Hi, thanks to everyone for the comments! This song is the meeting of some very talented musicians who addressed a terrible subject. And did it so well.

I agree no forgiveness for these monsters--although I did just listen to a talk by one victim who managed to forgive his molester and by doing so freed himself from the demon in his head- I have to admire and respect that. I suppose only the victim has the right to forgive (or not).

I think the cracks are beginning to show.. I do believe we shall witness the downfall of an established organization of these disgusting inhuman beasts.. and I can't wait.

Jesus made it very clear that anyone who harms a child will gravely regret it. Ugh--a priest who uses his power for harm is the lowest scum imaginable.

Luke 17:2
It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.
