Got The Life Lyrics


Hate, something, sometime, someway, something kick off the for me
Something, inside
I'll never ever follow
So give me something that is for real
I'll never ever follow

Get your boogie on

Hate, something, someway, each day, dealing with no forgiveness
Why? This shit inside
Now everyone will follow
So give me nothing just feel
And now this shit will follow

God begs me, the more I see the light, who wants to see?
God told me, I've already got the light, oh I say
God begs me, the more I see the light, who wants to see?
God told me, I've already got the light, oh I say

Each day I can feel it swallow, inside something they took from me
I don't feel your deathly ways
Each day I feel so hollow, inside I was beating me
You will never see, so come dance with me

Dance with me
Rumbiddieboo
Rum bum dee dumb dee bum diddie doo
Lie!

God begs me, the more I see the light, who wants to see?
God told me, I've already got the light, oh I say
God begs me, the more I see the light, who wants to see?
God told me, I've already got the light, oh I say

Got The Life

Got the life

Got The Life
  • This song finds lead singer Jon Davis questioning whether he really wants all this fame. This was a common theme for his songwriting at the time, as Korn had released two successful albums and was under increasing pressure from their record company. The band delivered a #1 album with Follow The Leader thanks in large part to this song, which was one of just two singles released from it (the other was "Freak on a Leash").
  • The entire band contributes to Korn's songwriting, and they share the composer credits equally. In our interview with their guitarist Brian "Head" Welch , he explained that this track materialized quickly, but its Disco leanings were a serious concern. "I was stoked, because I lived in Redondo Beach at the time. The studio where we wrote was about 15 minutes from my house," he said. "We were going in there for like eight hours a day. We wouldn't take that many breaks, we were just going at it.

    And I remember when 'Got the Life' happened, he [drummer David Silveria] did that disco beat. All of us looked at each other. It's a haunting guitar line and melody, but the drums were a little happier than metal. And so we were like, 'Is this good or is this kind of cheesy?' Because it's kind of like a Disco beat.

    So we were kind of scared of it. We were like, 'I don't know if our fans would like this.' It was so unique, and the more we sat with it and added to the song, we were like, 'Wow, this is crazy different. Let's go with this.' It ended up being one of the biggest hits. You've got to be open to try new things in music is what that proved."
