And every generation`s got
The fearless few who can`t be bought
They don`t take polls or look around
They act on truth, and then they stand their ground
Come up and see the world stripped bare
The free indeed
They breathe a rarified air
Yeah, they got spirit
Yeah, they got game
And some get christened
With a righteous-sounding name
Cornelius
And every generation knows
The doers do, the posers pose
`Cause every time the plop goes fizz
Another yes-man gets his
Come up and see the big man`s boss
The mind clears out when you`re taking up the cross
Yeah, his burden`s easy
No, it don`t chafe
It`s God`s safe harbor
Why play it safe?
Cornelius
Core-strong like a centurion
I wanna be Cornelius
Core-strong like a centurion
I wanna be Cornelius
His kneel is real
His kneel is real
What rhymes with Cornelius?
Helium
The cor is before a kneel, a kneel
The i is an e in us, in us
He`s ready to fight but not to fuss
We like, we like Cornelius
And history proves the axiom
Surface skimmers choke on scum
Who`s calling deep?
Who opens wide?
Who put the just in justified?
Check, check it out - the view you get
It`s God`s high-wire
There isn`t any net
Show a little spirit
Show you got game
Show you know
We know, we know
You know what`s in a name
He`s ready to fight
But not to fuss
Cornelius
He isn`t a wuss
He never was
Cornelius
