"Psychosocial" lyrics
"Psychosocial"
Ooh, yeah!
I did my time and I want out
So effusive, fade, it doesn't cut
The soul is not so vibrant
The reckoning, the sickening
Packaging subversion
Pseudo-sacrosanct perversion
Go drill your deserts, go dig your graves
Then fill your mouth with all the money you will save
Sinking in, getting smaller again
I'm done, it has begun, I'm not the only one
And the rain will kill us all
We throw ourselves against the wall
But no one else can see
The preservation of the martyr in me
Psychosocial!
Psychosocial!
Psychosocial!
Psychosocial!
Psychosocial!
Psychosocial!
There are cracks in the road we laid
But where the temple fell
The secrets have gone mad
This is nothing new, but when we killed it all
The hate was all we had
Who needs another mess?
We could start over
Just look me in the eyes and say I'm wrong
Now there's only emptiness
Venomous, insipid
I think we're done, I'm not the only one
And the rain will kill us all
We throw ourselves against the wall
But no one else can see
The preservation of the martyr in me
Psychosocial!
Psychosocial!
Psychosocial!
Psychosocial!
Psychosocial!
Psychosocial!
The limits of the dead!
The limits of the dead!
The limits of the dead!
The limits of the dead!
Fake anti-fascist lie (Psychosocial!)
I tried to tell you but (Psychosocial!)
Your purple hearts are giving out (Psychosocial!)
Can't stop a killing idea - (Psychosocial!)
If it's hunting season (Psychosocial!)
Is this what you want? (Psychosocial!)
I'm not the only one!
And the rain will kill us all
We throw ourselves against the wall
But no one else can see
The preservation of the martyr in me
And the rain will kill us all
We throw ourselves against the wall
But no one else can see
The preservation of the martyr in me
The limits of the dead
The limits of the dead

"Psychosocial" was released on July 7th, 2008 as the second single from Slipknot's album "All Hope Is Gone".
During an interview with Kerrang! magazine, frontman Corey Taylor revealed: "I was writing lyrics when Paul [Gray] and Joey [Jordison] played this to me. I looked at the sheet I'd been working on and at the bottom was the chorus for 'Psychosocial' already... This song was meant to be."
Percussionist Shawn Crahan also commented: "I had to ask Corey what 'Psychosocial' meant. He wouldn't tell me."
Isosine famously mashed up "Psychosocial" with Justin Bieber's song
"Baby", the result being known as "Psychosocial Baby". Many other humorous mashups of "Psychosocial" followed.
"Psychosocial" was nominated for "Best Metal Performance" at the 51st Grammy Awards in 2009, but lost to Metallica's
"My Apocalypse".
