Cornelius Lyrics

Cornelius
Every generation's got,
The fearless few who can't be bought.
They don't take polls and look around,
They act on truth and stand their ground.

Come up and see the world stripped bare.
The free indeed,
They breathe the rarified air.
Yeah they got spirit, yeah they got game,
And some get christened with a rightious-sounding name.

Chorus:
nah, nah, nah...
Cor-nel-i-us
nah, nah, nah...
Cor-nel-i-us

And every generation knows,
The doers do, the poseurs pose.
'Cuz 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.
Yeah, his burdens easy,
No it don't chafe,
It's God's safe harbor, why play it safe?

Chorus
(background; second "nah..." segment:
He's ready to fight, but not to fuss,
We like, we like Cornelius)


Core-strong like a centurion,
[ Newsboys Lyrics are found on www.songlyrics.com ]
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 core's before the kneel, the kneel,
The I's 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 puts the "just" in "justified"?

Check, check it out, the view you get,
It's God's high wire, there isn't any net.
Show 'em a little spirit,
Show 'em you got game,
Show 'em you know (we know, we know,
You know what's in a name.

Chorus

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.
