And give in
Doesn't matter what you believe in
Stay cool
And be somebody's fool this year
'cause they know
Who is righteous and what is bold
So I'm told
Who wants honey
As long as there's some money
Who wants that honey?
Hipsters unite
Come align for the big fight to rock
for you
Beware
All those angels with there wings glued on
'cause deep down
They are frightened and they're scared
If you don't stare
Who wants honey
As long as there's some money
Who wants that honey?
Let me out
Please, let me out
Please, let me out
Please, let me out
Tell me all of your secrets
Cannot help but believe this is true
Tell me all of your secrets
I know, I know, I know,
Should have listened when I was told
Who wants that honey?
As long as there is some money
Who wants that honey?
Let me out
Please, let me out
Please, let me out
Please, let me out.

"Well, I wanted to make this video and got talked into making another kind
of video and I said ok, and
then we're on top of this mountain in San Francisco and it's raining and
freezing and the whole video is all
screwy-looking and you can't even tell I'm on top of a mountain and in the
rain and it's completely not what I wanted.
I kinda had this idea of us playing in this theater and there'd be angels
swinging around on ropes and there would
be these, like, kids who were like metal kids and they would come into the
show...See, already it sounds better than,
than... like, I have this, like, I look like Jason [from Friday the 13th]
at some point in the video, and...
you know."

"I wrote 'Cherub Rock' in half an hour. I heard it one day while I was driving up the road and it was one of
the last songs I wrote before we did the album. The thing is, there's parts of me that wonder what would have
happened if I'd spent four hours writing it, and not done something else. How much better a song would it have
been?"
