Take A Number Lyrics

Never even knew
what you meant to convey
You handed us a retrospect
'til you didn't have a thing to say
No one questions you
Even someone set out to do
Now it'snothing...
but dead and gone
LET'S GO

Better with a lie
than the world's ever seen You wanted all the recognition
until you lost the means
No one talks to you
Even someone set out to do
Take a number...your time has come

CUZ YOU'RE ANOTHER ONE!
YOU'RE ANOTHER SOUL TO FEED
TO THE MAN'S MACHINE!

My excuses lay me down
My emotions make me drown
My endeavor takes blame
At least I have a name

CUZ YOU'RE ANOTHER ONE!
YOU'RE ANOTHER SOUL TO FEED
TO THE MAN'S MACHINE!

seems to me, like someone once was a bad person, who was so vain... nobody wanted to be around him, or put up w/ his ways. so, he fed them all excuses of why he was the way he had become. only trying to regain the life he blew.

i agree

The first time I've ever heard a successful fusion of blues and metal. Maybe "successful" is too weak a word? It's absolutely amazing actually. Great sense of isolation and cold in the verses then in the bridge and choruses you just want to get up and dance like a freak. Amaaaaazing. Only Corey Taylor...

Just so u know metal's derivatives are mainly classical and blues. I saw it in a docco called "METAL: A Headaanger's Journey"

To me this song Corey is talking about all of the "conformists" i guess you could say...all of the people who follow the rest. The people who cant speak for themselves and have nothing truely unique about them.

My excuses lay me down My emotions make me drown My endeavor takes blame At least I have a name

to me is corey sayin that yea i have some of your traits but i still do what i want "at least i have a name"
