{F.B.R} - Korn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your messiah was never mine
Your messiah was never mine
Your messiah was never mine
Your messiah was never mine
Your messiah was never mine
Your messiah was never mine
Your messiah was never mine
Your messiah was never mine
Hypocrites
Weeping rose of Jeremiah
Drops of blood drip off your petals
Representing all our tears
In a ring of burning metal
How you gonna be, what you gonna say, it
Doesn't bother me, who you gonna pay?
Sorcerers and sadists come
To define the what and why
People travel 'cross this earth
Over water, land, and sky
How you gonna be, what you gonna say, it
Doesn't bother me, who you gonna pay?
Pay the ferryman, pay the fucking driver
Pay the preachers and pay the fucking liars
Pay the bitches, they're charging all their dates, stand by
I'm not gonna pay, it's already mine
Hypocrites, I'm gonna do it blind
Hypocrites, I'm gonna do it blind
Hypocrites, I'm gonna do it blind
Hypocrites (your messiah was never mine)
Weeping rose of Jeremiah
Purity unlike no other
Offers hope to those who need it
Don't forget care to the brother
How you gonna be, what you gonna say, it
Doesn't bother me, who you gonna pay?
Little old lady at home
Writing out a check to send
It's all the money that she owns
She believes the world might end
How you gonna be, what you gonna say, it
Doesn't bother me, who you gonna pay?
Pay the ferryman, pay the fucking driver
Pay the preachers and pay the fucking liars
Pay the bitches, they're charging all their dates, stand by
I'm not gonna pay, it's already mine
Hypocrites, I'm gonna do it blind
Hypocrites, I'm gonna do it blind
Hypocrites, I'm gonna do it blind
Hypocrites (your messiah was never mine)
Hypocrites
Pay the ferryman, pay the fucking driver
Pay the preachers and pay the fucking liars
Pay the bitches, they're charging all their dates, stand by
I'm not gonna pay, it's already mine
Hypocrites, I'm gonna do it blind
Hypocrites, I'm gonna do it blind
Hypocrites, I'm gonna do it blind

Hypocrites
These lyrics belong to a jazz classic titled "Pennies from Heaven" that was originally composed by Arthur Johnston and Johnny Burke in 1936. The song's core message is about staying optimistic in tough times, as the metaphorical pennies from heaven signify unexpected blessings that can come our way even during difficult periods.
In the context of Korn's song "Hypocrites," the lyrics may carry a different meaning. The band uses the pennies from heaven metaphor to criticize the hollow promises that some religious leaders make to their followers. Korn suggests that people shouldn't blindly trust these hypocrites who claim to have all the answers to life's problems. In this way, the lyrics represent a call for individual thinking and questioning rather than blindly following authority.
The repetition of the phrase "every time it rains" could also evoke a sense of repeated disappointment, as if the pennies from heaven never actually come. Korn may be suggesting that people shouldn't rely on false promises and instead take control of their own lives to create their own fortunes.
Line by Line Meaning
Every time it rains, it rains pennies from heaven
Whenever it rains, blessings and good things come into our lives unexpectedly
Don't you know each cloud contains pennies from heaven?
The rainclouds symbolize the blessings that we can receive from above
You'll find your fortune's fallin' all over the town
Blessings and opportunities will come to us from every direction
Be sure that your umbrella is upside down
Be open and receptive to the blessings that come your way
Trade them for a package of sunshine of flowers
Trade your negative mindset for a more positive one and appreciate the blessings you have received
If you want the things you love, you must have showers
To receive good things, you must be willing to endure the hardships and challenges that come with it
So, when you hear it thunder, don't run under a tree
Don't seek refuge in the wrong places when faced with difficulties
There'll be pennies from heaven for you and me
We will all receive unexpected blessings if we remain hopeful and optimistic
Every time, every time it rains, it's gonna rain pennies from heaven
Just like the recurring rain, blessings will come to us repeatedly if we remain open to them
Don't you know every cloud contains lots of pennies from heaven
We should have faith that blessings will come, no matter how small or insignificant they may seem
Be sure, be sure that your umbrella is upside down
Be receptive to the blessings that come your way and have a positive mindset
There'll be pennies from heaven for you and me
We will all receive unexpected blessings if we remain hopeful and optimistic
