The Missing Lyrics by Filter

The Amalgamut

2002

[Verse 1: Richard Patrick]
Hey God told us that we made a very big sin
You don't know where to begin
He says turn the other cheek
But that seems kind of weak
I just wanna beat up
Beat up the meek

He says you'd be a better man
If you'd stick with the plan
But I don't think I can
Not with that kind of man

[Chorus:]
You love to be cruel
You love to be cruel
I'm not a good tool
'Cause you love to be cruel

[Verse 2:]
What now?
The cross has been greased
But I don't feel the heat
Nor the peace in the street
Everybody feels it
So just bury it in the pit
With the best of the sick
Ideological shit

[Chorus:]
You love to be cruel
You love to be cruel
I'm not a good tool
'Cause you love to be cruel

You love to be cruel
You love to be cruel
You love to be cruel
You love to be cruel

Yeah
