Corinthians Lyrics

Corinthians 
[parody of In the End, by Linkin Park] 

It starts with
love 
Young thing -- I don't know why 
You didn't read the letter our
Lord supplied 
With that in mind, I revised this rhyme to explain to you
guys 
All... I... know 
Love is... a powerful thing 
Watch the fly
guys with the Benjamins sing 
Watch the countdown that the MTV plays 
I
got ticked by the way 
It's so unreal -- Britney and Jennifer Lo 
Watch
the wardrobe -- looks like a window 
Tryin' to hold on to itty bitty clothes

You pasted them on -- this is not true love 
I guess everything's a
hybrid breeding love and pride 
In small jealous hearts 
What it gets to
be is essentially just a parody 
Like this rhyme is of Linkin Park


You tried so hard, but love's so far 
Corinthians -- it doesn't even
matter 
If love's too small -- you lose it all 
Corinthians -- first
letter, thirteenth chapter 

Love waits -- it's also kind
It doesn't
envy, brag, or grow hard with pride
Keeps things polite, doesn't like to
fight
It denies itself, while it tries no harm
If I have the faith and
philosophy
Acting like I was smarter than Socrates
And every language and
tngue and prophecy
I could die and not go far
If at the stake they burned
me or
I could've given every dime to many poor
If love's lackin' throw me
back then
Buddy, Paul wrote that to Corinthians
It bears everything,
besides, believes and hopes, abides
That Paul fella's smart
Love he said
to me will essentially kepp no memory
Of you crimes 'cause it finds no
fault

You tried so hard -- but love's so far
Corinthians -- it
doesn't even matter
If love's too small -- you lose it all
Corinthians --
First letter, Thirteenth chapter

It likes what's just and
true
Dislikes what's unrighteous though
Failure is the only one thing it
can't know
The things that last are few
Things like faith and love and
hope
From all these, there's only one thing you need most
