Faget Lyrics

[Post-Chorus]
Faget!
Faget!
Faget!


[Verse 1]
Here I am different in this normal world
Why'd you tease me, made me feel upset?
Fucking stereotypes feeding their heads
I am ugly, please just go away

[Chorus]
(HIV!) I can see it's hard to find
This blessing in disguise

Why you treat me this way?
(HIV!) Made the hate stay

[Post-Chorus]
Faget!
You'll see

[Bridge]
I'm just a pretty boy, whatever you call it
You wouldn't know a real man if you saw it

It keeps going on day after day, son
Hey you, faget! Get away, we don't want none
I'm sick and tired of people treating me this way every day
Who gives a fuck, right now I got something to say
To all the people that think that I'm strange
And I should be out here locked up in a cage
You don't know what the hell is up now anyway
You got this pretty boy feeling like I'm enslaved

To a world that never appreciated shit
You can suck my dick and fucking like it!

What did Korn say about "Faget"?
Genius Answer

Jonathan Davis explained:

That song I wrote about being picked on as a kid. In high school and junior high, I was a very feminine dude who used to wear makeup and loved Duran Duran. I wasn’t gay, but people liked to assume that I was gay and call me ‘faggot.’
