-1 Lyrics - By The People, For The People - Mudvayne

Losses, losers and more gain of life's pleasures 

Cohorts listen behind the doors 

To a life shot again less than to move in me 

All my walls falling down pains aloft misery 

I'm sure that the lessons were learned 

I'm sure that the punishments went well deserved 

By the pawn in the plan taste the shit bitterness 

Walk from me everything systematically 

Come on, come on, you were the one, you were the one 

Dredge up shit inside of me in my pointless life of nothing 

Tell me, what I'm supposed to be? 

Tell me, who I'm supposed to be? 

Tell me, what it takes to ascend? 

Tell me, what it takes to live? 

Patience, pleasures and rewards, come in due time 

Stare at the sun I'm bored 

In a life meaningless soaking up all of me 

Like the cross you worship, life is loss look at me 

I'm sure that some day we'll wake up 

I'm sure that some day we'll wake from the dream 

Of success and focus tunneling to the light glowing 

Deep inside of me your taunting, I wake up 

Come on, come on, you were the one, you were the one 

Dredge up shit inside of me in my pointless life of nothing 

Tell me, what I'm supposed to be? 

Tell me, who I'm supposed to be? 

Tell me, what it takes to ascend? 

Tell me, what it takes to live? 

Tell me now! Tell me now! 

Pain, misery, distress, dismal know 

Where depressed idiot failure in me 

Loser, loser in me who I am, loser in me 

Don't feel sorry, don't feel sorry for me 

Don't need your sympathy or empathy 

Don't need your sympathy inside of me 

Don't need your sympathy or empathy 

Don't need your sympathy inside of me 

Don't feel sorry, don't feel sorry for me 

Come on, I know you were the one, you were the one 

Numb to feelings inside of me, why I've seized my vision? 

Don't need, you to tell me who to be? 

Don't need, you to tell me what to be? 

Don't need, you to tell me how to ascend? 

Don't need, you to tell me how to live?
