Composition[edit]

The song begins with percussionist Shawn Crahan describing what the tempo of the song should be.[3] The track then quickly transgresses into one that is much more deep and forceful, opening the composition. The song contains lead vocalist Corey Taylor speaking in the manner of a radio announcer, and the line "Cut, cut, cut me up and fuck, fuck, fuck me up".[4] During concerts, percussionist Chris Fehn would usually sing the chorus with Corey.
