Hypocrites Lyrics
[Intro]
Your messiah was never mine
Your messiah was never mine
Your messiah was never mine
Your messiah was never mine
Your messiah was never mine
Your messiah was never mine
Your messiah was never mine
Your messiah was never mine
Your messiah was never mine
Your messiah was never mine
Hypocrites!
[Verse 1]
Weeping rose of Jeremiah
Drops of blood drip off your petals
Representing all our tears
In a ring of burning metal
How you wanna be?
What you gonna say it?
It doesn't bother me
Who you gonna pay
Sorcerers and sadists come
To define the what and why
People travel 'cross this earth
Over water, land, and sky
Your messiah was never mine
Your messiah was never mine
Your messiah was never mine
Your messiah was never mine
Your messiah was never mine
Your messiah was never mine
Your messiah was never mine
Your messiah was never mine
Your messiah was never mine
Your messiah was never mine
Hypocrites!
[Verse 1]
Weeping rose of Jeremiah
Drops of blood drip off your petals
Representing all our tears
In a ring of burning metal
How you wanna be?
What you gonna say it?
It doesn't bother me
Who you gonna pay
Sorcerers and sadists come
To define the what and why
People travel 'cross this earth
Over water, land, and sky
How you wanna be?
What you gonna say it?
It doesn't bother me
Who you gonna pay
[Pre-Chorus]
Pay the ferryman, pay the fucking driver!
Pay the preachers and pay the fucking liars!
Pay the bitches they're charging all their dates, stand by!
I'm not gonna pay, it's already mine!
[Chorus]
Hypocrites!
I'm gonna do it blind
Hypocrites!
I'm gonna do it blind
Hypocrites!
I'm gonna do it blind
Hypocrites!
Your messiah was never mine
[Verse 2]
Weeping rose of Jeremiah
Purity unlike no other
Offers hope to those who need it
Don't forget care to thy brother
What you gonna say it?
It doesn't bother me
Who you gonna pay
[Pre-Chorus]
Pay the ferryman, pay the fucking driver!
Pay the preachers and pay the fucking liars!
Pay the bitches they're charging all their dates, stand by!
I'm not gonna pay, it's already mine!
[Chorus]
Hypocrites!
I'm gonna do it blind
Hypocrites!
I'm gonna do it blind
Hypocrites!
I'm gonna do it blind
Hypocrites!
Your messiah was never mine
[Verse 2]
Weeping rose of Jeremiah
Purity unlike no other
Offers hope to those who need it
Don't forget care to thy brother
How you wanna be?
What you gonna say it?
It doesn't bother me
Who you gonna pay
Little old lady at home
Writing out a check to send
It's all the money that she owns
She believes the world might end
How you wanna be?
What you gonna say it?
It doesn't bother me
Who you gonna pay
[Pre-Chorus]
Pay the ferryman, pay the fucking driver!
Pay the preachers and pay the fucking liars!
Pay the bitches they're charging all their dates, stand by!
I'm not gonna pay, it's already mine!
[Chorus]
Hypocrites!
I'm gonna do it blind
Hypocrites!
I'm gonna do it blind
Hypocrites!
I'm gonna do it blind
Hypocrites!
Your messiah was never mine
What you gonna say it?
It doesn't bother me
Who you gonna pay
Little old lady at home
Writing out a check to send
It's all the money that she owns
She believes the world might end
How you wanna be?
What you gonna say it?
It doesn't bother me
Who you gonna pay
[Pre-Chorus]
Pay the ferryman, pay the fucking driver!
Pay the preachers and pay the fucking liars!
Pay the bitches they're charging all their dates, stand by!
I'm not gonna pay, it's already mine!
[Chorus]
Hypocrites!
I'm gonna do it blind
Hypocrites!
I'm gonna do it blind
Hypocrites!
I'm gonna do it blind
Hypocrites!
Your messiah was never mine
[Pre-Chorus]
Pay the ferryman, pay the fucking driver!
Pay the preachers and pay the fucking liars!
Pay the bitches they're charging all their dates, stand by!
I'm not gonna pay, it's already mine!

I'm gonna do it blind
Hypocrites!
Your messiah was never mine
Pay the ferryman, pay the fucking driver!
Pay the preachers and pay the fucking liars!
Pay the bitches they're charging all their dates, stand by!

Hypocrites!
I'm gonna do it blind
Hypocrites!
Your messiah was never mine
About
This song bio is unreviewed
Genius Annotation
Hypocrites is the third track from Korn’s seventh album See You on the other side. This song takes a shot at organized religion, how they expect lay people to contribute money that makes the church leaders get richer and richer. When Jonathan Davis sings at the beginning of the song, “Your messiah was never mine,” he tells us that religion changes and now, the church uses the so-called messiah to take money from people. In the second verse, “Little old lady at home writing out a check to send, it’s all the money that she owns,” it tells that the church prays on the elderly, since today, they are the ones who believe.
