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.

The Missing Lyrics

Filter

Hey God told us that we made a very big sin
You don't know where to begin
He says turn the other cheek
But that seems kind of weak
I just want to beat up, beat up the meek
He says you'd be a better man
If you stick with the plan
But I don't think I can
Not with that kind of man

Chorus:
You love to be cruel
You love to be cruel
I'm not a good tool
'Cause you love to be cruel

What now, the cross has been greased
But I don't feel the heat
Nor the peace in the street
Everybody feels the hit
So just bury it in the pit
With the best of the sick ideological shit

You love to be cruel
You love to be cruel
I'm not a good tool
'Cause you love to be cruel
