Filteris an industrial rock group formed in 1993 by Richard Patrick(former live guitarist for Nine Inch Nails) and Brian Liesegang. Filter's most distinguishing feature is Richard Patrick's voice, which can soar to quite a high scream - on just about all songs. Their first album, Short Bus, was released in 1995. The album was successful, and included the hit single " Hey Man, Nice Shot". The song was somewhat controversial, as it was seen as capitalizing on the public suicide of Budd Dwyer.

Cancer Lyrics

Filter

I cross the oceans
I cross the seas
I cross the mountains
Like a new disease
I cross the borders
I cross the line
Never to see the light
Til the end of time
Ive seen the canyons
Ive seen the cities
Ive seen the prisons
That take such pity
When it comes to you
When it comes to me
Its just money that will set you free
Chorus:
Hey my children, what seems important
Wont last forever
Hey my children,what seems important
Wont last forever
Take a look at the earth
From a plane
Youll see the earth
Cut up and in pain
Take a look at l.a.
From the sky
What you see
Should make you cry
Chorus
Im the scum of the earth
I am a cancer
I am humanity
Chorus (x2)
