Take a Look Around

About Take a Look Around

"Take a Look Around" is a song by the American rap rock band Limp Bizkit. It is the lead single and tenth track on their third album Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water and was released in July 2000. The song received a Grammy nomination for Best Hard Rock Performance in 2001 but lost to Rage Against the Machine's "Guerrilla Radio". Previously in 2000 RATM lost to Bizkit in MTV Video Music Awards, which caused an incident featuring RATM bassist Tim Commerford climbing on the set. The main riff of the song is derived from the original Mission: Impossible theme composed by Lalo Schifrin and appears on the soundtrack to the 2000 film Mission: Impossible 2. An instrumental version of "Take a Look Around" was released as a promo and later included as a B-side on some versions of the "Rollin'" single. The song became a European hit in mid-2000, reaching number one in Iceland and Portugal, number two in Finland and Spain, and number three in Italy and the United Kingdom. In addition to reaching the top 10 in several other European countries, it became a top-thirty hit in Australia and New Zealand. more »

All the tension in the world today
All the little girls fillin up the world today
When the good comes to bad the bad comes to good
But I'm a live my life like I should

Now all the critics want to hit it
To Shit can how we did it
Just Because they don't get it
But I'll stay fitted
New era committed
Now this red cap gets a rap from his critics

Do we always gotta cry? (gotta cry)
Do we always gotta live inside a lie (a lie)
Life is just a blast
Its Movin really fast
You Better stay on top
Or life will kick you in the ass

Follow me into a solo
Remember that, kid
So what you want to do?
And where you gonna run

When your starin down the cable of a-
A mic pointed atcha grill like a gun
It's Limp Bizkit rockin the set
It's like Russian Roulette

When your placin your bet
So don't be upset
When your broke
And your done
'Cause i'm a be the one
'Til I jet

I know why you want to hate me
I know why you want to hate me

Now I know why you want to hate me
'Cause hate is all the world has ever seen lately

Why you want to hate me
'Cause hate is all the world has even seen lately
Now you want to hate me
'Cause hate is all the world has even seen lately

Does anybody really know the secret
Or the combination for this life and where they keep it
Its kinda sad when you don't know the meaning
But everything happens for a reason
I don't even know what I should say
'cause I'm an idiot a loser a microphone abuser
I analyze every second I exist
Beaten on my mind every second with my fist

Everybody want to run (run)
Everybody want to hide from the gun (gun)
You can take a ride through this life if you want
But You can't take that edge off that knife (no sir)
And now you want your money back (money back)
But your denied 'cause your brains fried from the sac
And there ain't nothing I can do
'Cause life is a lesson you'll learn it when your through

I know why you want to hate me
I know why you want to hate me
I know why you want to hate me
'Cause hate is all the world has ever seen lately

I know why you want to hate me
I know why you want to hate me
Now I know why you want to hate me
'Cause hate is all the world has ever seen lately

Why you want to hate me
'Cause hate is all the world has ever seen lately
Now you want to hate me
'Cause hate is all the world has ever seen lately

(Now I know why..Now I know why..Now I know why)

Now I know why you want to hate me
Now I know why you want to hate me
Now I know why you want to hate me

'Cause hate is all the world has even seen lately
'Cause hate is all the world has even seen lately
'Cause hate is all the world has even seen lately
