Slipknot — All Hope Is Gone

[Verse 1: Corey Taylor, Corey Taylor, Clown, Chris Fehn & Paul Gray] The state of the nation – violation A broken promise is as good as a lie The hell is humongous, the devil's among us And we will burn 'cause we won't unite What are we conceding for our freedom? Why does anybody think we need 'em? I would rather fight than let another die We're the problem, but we're also the solution All hope is gone If you want it, come and take it from me If you think you can, you still don't know me Let me tell you, man, if I said it, I meant it And I will always have the right to defend it Fifty seconds, a hundred murders The bill of rights is a bill of sale What will you do when the war is over? What will you do when your system fails? [Chorus: Corey Taylor, Corey Taylor, Clown, Chris Fehn & Paul Gray] We have made the present obsolete What do you want? What do you need? We'll find a way when all hope is gone We've seen the fall of the elite Bury your life, take your disease We'll end the world when all hope is gone [Guitar Solo: Jim Root] [Chorus: Corey Taylor, Corey Taylor, Clown, Chris Fehn & Paul Gray] We have made the present obsolete What do you want? What do you need? We'll find a way when all hope is gone We've seen the fall of the elite Bury your life, take your disease We'll end the world when all hope is gone [Verse 2: Corey Taylor] The wretched are the wounded The hungry starve to death In a place where no one goes The air itself is a final breath So discontinue the antiseptic care charade As a cry of justice comes, a malignant fire fades I am the reason your future suffers I am the hatred you won't embrace I am the worm of a pure gestation I am the remedy, spit in my face All your laws and rules are outdated All your subjects are killing the kings I can rattle off a million other reasons why But does it matter when the only thing we love will die? [Chorus: Corey Taylor, Corey Taylor, Clown, Chris Fehn & Paul Gray] We have made the present obsolete What do you want? What do you need? We'll find a way when all hope is gone We've seen the fall of the elite Bury your life, take your disease We'll end the world when all hope is gone [Chorus: Corey Taylor, Corey Taylor, Clown, Chris Fehn & Paul Gray] We have made the present obsolete What do you want? What do you need? We'll find a way, we'll find a way when all hope is gone We've seen the fall of the elite Bury your life, take your disease We'll end the world, we'll end the world when all hope is gone [Outro: Corey Taylor, Clown, Chris Fehn & Paul Gray] When all hope is gone When all hope is gone When all hope is gone
