Oddity Lyrics by Coal Chamber

Giving the Devil His Due

1997

[Intro]
This is the way it's got to be
This is the way it's got to be
This is the way it's got to be
This is the way it's got to be
This is the way it's got to be
This is the way it's got to be
This is the way it's got to be
This is the way it's got to be, aah

This is the way it's got to be
This is the way it's got to be
This is the way it's got to be

[Verse]
Crawl beneath this filthy ground
And underneath this dirty ground
I crawl beneath this filthy ground
And underneath these dirty leaves

[Pre-Chorus]
Seems to me to be the insanity
It seems to me I've become the oddity
It seems to me I need some identity
It seems to me I've become the oddity

[Chorus]
Keep this high, now keep this high
I said, "I better
Keep this high, now keep this high"
I said, "I better
Keep this high, now keep this high"
I said, "I better
Keep this high, now keep this high"

[Verse]
Crawl beneath this filthy ground
And underneath this dirty ground
I crawl beneath this filthy ground
And underneath these dirty leaves

[Pre-Chorus]
Seems to me to be the insanity
It seems to me I've become the oddity
It seems to me I need some identity
It seems to me I've become the oddity

[Chorus]
Keep this high, now keep this high
I said, "I better
Keep this high, now keep this high"
I said, "I better
Keep this high, now keep this high"
I said, "I better
Keep this high, now keep this high"

[Breakdown]
This is the way it's got to be (It's got to be a)
This is the way it's got to be (It's got to be a)
This is the way it's got to be (It's got to be a)
This is the way it's got to be (It's got to be a)
This is the way it's got to be (It's got to be a)
This is the way it's got to be (It's got to be a)
This is the way, this is the way
This is the way it's got to be

[Bridge]
This is the way it's got to be
This is the way it's got to be
This is the way it's got to be
No fear, so depraved
No fear, so depraved, break
No fear, so depraved
No fear, so depraved
No fear, so depraved
No fear, so depraved

[Outro]
This is the way it's got to be (It's got to be a)
This is the way it's got to be (It's got to be a)
This is the way it's got to be (It's got to be a)
This is the way it's got to be
This is the way it's got to be (It's got to be)
This is the way it's got to be (It's got to be)
This is the way, this is the way
This is the way it's got to be
