Cornelius lyrics

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

Cor-ne-li-us

And every generation knows
The doers do, the posers pose
`Cause every time the pop goes fizz
Another yes-man gets his

Come on 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 harbour
Why play it safe?

Cor-ne-li-us

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

Cor-ne-li-us

He`s ready to fight,
But not to fuss
We like, we like
Cornelius

He isn`t a wuss
He never wass
We like, we like
Cornelius
