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.

Boning, I see, somehow it 
Always seems that I'm dreamin' of somethin' 
I can never be
It doesn't bother me 'cause I will 
Always be that pimp that I see 
In all of my fantasies

I don't know your fuckin' name
So what? Let's

Screwing might 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 starin' back at me

I don't know your fuckin' name
So what? Let's f*ck

All day I dream about sex
All day I dream about fuckin'

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
Yes, all day I dream about sex
And all day I dream about sex
Yes, 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'
