About A.D.I.D.A.S.

"A. D. I. D. A. S." is a song written and recorded by American nu metal band Korn for their second studio album, Life Is Peachy. It was released as the album's second single in March 1997. The title is an acronym for the statement "All Day I Dream About Sex" and does not refer directly to the popular sportswear brand, Adidas, although Korn was known for frequently wearing the sport brand back in their early years. The whimsical backronym from the brand name dates to the 1970s.

Honestly somehow it always seems that I'm dreaming of
Something I could never be 
It doesn't matter to me cause I will always be that pimp that I see in all 
Of my fantasies 

I don't know your fucking name, so what let's 
Screwing may be, the only way that I can truly be free 
From my fucked up reality 
So I dream and stroke it harder cause it's so fun to see 
My face staring back at me 

I don't know your fucking name, so what let's f*ck 
All day I dream about sex 
All day I dream about fuckin' 
All day I dream about sex, yes 
All day I dream about sex, and 
All day I dream about sex, and
All day I dream about sex, and
All day I dream about sex, yes 
All day I dream about sex 
All day I dream about sex
All day I dream about fuckin' 
All day I dream about sex 
All day I dream about fuckin'
