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