And every generation's gotThe fearless few who can't be boughtThey don't take polls or look aroundThey act on truth, and then they stand their groundCome up and see the world stipped bareThe free indeedThey breathe a rarified airYeah, they got spiritYeah, they got gameAnd some get christenedWith a righteous-sounding nameCorneliusAnd every generation knowsThe doers do, the posers pose'Cause every time the plop goes fizzAnother yes-man gets hisCome on and see the big man's bossThe mind clears out when you're taking up the crossYeah, his burden's easyNo, it don't chafeIt's God's safe harborWhy play it safe?CorneliusCore-strong like a centurionI wanna be CorneliusCore-strong like a centurionI wanna be CorneliusHis kneel is realHis kneel is realWhat rhymes with Cornelius?Helium (Helium)The 'cor' is before a kneel, kneelThe 'i' is an 'e' in us, in usHe's ready to fight, but not to fussWe like, we like CorneliusAnd history prves the axiomSurface skimmers choke on scumWho's calling deep?Who opens wide?Who put the just in justified?Check, check it out - the view you getIt's God's high-wireThere isn't any netShow a little spiritShow you got gameShow you know(We know, we know)You know what's in a name
