Filter - Club Underground - Reno Nevada - 9/17/2008 - 1 of 12

These are the opening moments of the show, with soundbites from "There Will Be Blood" playing over the speakers ("I am a false prophet, and God is a superstition!") ... then Richard Patrick appears, and performs the scorching "Welcome to the Fold" (one of the two greatest anti-fundamentalist songs of all time, the other one being "Dose").


WELCOME TO THE FOLD

You take my money
You think you're great
You think its funny
I hate your face
Yeah

You got your Jesus
I got my space
You got your reasons
I got my case

You just gotta sit yourself down
to contemplate
You get yourself a nice cold beer
dnd drink yourself away
You're celebrating nothing
and you feel a-okay
You're celebrating nothing
and you feel a-okay

You think you're precious
I think youre shit
Id kill your father
Destroy his seed
Oooohhh nothing will ever
Destroy your greed

Now when you break yourself down
and go to this place
You give yourself the reason
to get off your case
and when you break it down yeah
and see through this shit
You give yourself the reason
to live through this
Break down

Mama give me my medicine
Mama give me my medicine
Mama give me my medicine
The one that makes me feel taller

Mama give me my medicine
Mama give me my medicine
The one that makes me feel so tall, tall like a tall tree

Mama give me my medicine
The one that makes me feel like a tall tree
Mama give me my medicine
That makes me feel like a tall tree
Mama give me my medicine
That makes me feel like a tall tree
That makes me feel like a tall tree
Yeah yeah yeah yeah

You're celebrating nothing
and you feel a-okay
Youre celebrating nothing
and you feel a-okay
