The fearless few who can t be bought

They don t take polls or look around

They act on truthand then they stand their ground

Come up and see the world stipped bare

The free indeed

They breathe a rarified air

Yeahthey got spirit

Yeahthey got game

And some get christened

With a righteous-sounding name

Cornelius

And every generation knows

The doers dothe posers pose

Cause every time the plop 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

Yeahhis burden s easy

Noit don t chafe

It s God s safe harbor

Why play it safe?

Cornelius

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 Helium

The "cor" is before a kneelkneel

The "i" is an "e" in usin us

He s ready to fightbut not to fuss

We likewe like Cornelius

And history prves the axiom

Surface skimmers choke on scum

Who s calling deep?

Who opens wide?

Who put the just in justified?

Checkcheck 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 knowwe know

You know what s in a name
