Mushroomhead - These Filthy Hands Lyrics






Haphazardly, Tumbling Hard
Fall Right Down,
Laugh Out Loud
All In The Scheme Of Things,
We're All Looking Up Growing Tall
It's Like Pulling One Hair
You Are What You Are To Me
With Wet Fingers
In My Eyes You're A Star
Petroleum Jelly
You're Something I'll Never Be
And Watch The Rain Dance
You're Something, I'm Frightened Of
I've Got To Get Clean
The Rain Will Cleanse Me
And I've Got To Wash These Filthy Hands
Because It's All Just A Futile Plan
That'd Mean I'd Have To
Believe Again
It's Like A Career To Breathe
An Existence I Can't Conceive
Emotionless As In Slug
In My Imagined Oblivion
It's As Much Fun
As Poking At A Nerve
You Would Swear,
That I Could,
Walk And Talk
No One Wants To Fail
But No One Wants To Work
But I Doubt You Will Ever
Vocabulary Test Is Graded On A Curve
Ever Prove Enough
Smartest Kid Is Stupid
Word Is Never Heard
I Doubt You'll Ever Prove It!
I've Got To Get Clean
The Rain Will Cleanse Me
And I've Got to Wash These Filthy Hands
All These Thoughts And Feelings
Are For Naught Unappealing
So You Expect Them
To Dull And Fade
Still They Remain
Caught Waiting For The Rain
Time Devours Life
With My Soul As The Defendant
Don't Catch Me If I Fall
I May Have Jumped
You Never Know
You Don't Know Me At All

  2. J.... J....

    Old school

  3. E.... D....

    Hwo dosnt love flaoters

  4. I.... A....

    Love myself some Mushroomhead--It happened when I bought the Freddy Vs Jason soundtrack..Funny thing is I bought it Specifically for Chimera&Zero Cell...I think I spelled Chimara wrong Lol....I bought Chimera directly from our National Army Base where they&Chimera performed for a concert back in May of 2003 for 12 dolla. I met the lead singer/frontman of 'Zero Cell' and he was freaken cool asf. 7 foot tall black man not much older than myself at the time(he was mid 20s-or at least I Think he was Lolz)...Strange thing is I can't find the dudes music anywhere online/interwebs and he lived in my state...Alls I have is a cassette of my favorite song by him(Well to be fair, I actually don't Know the name of his album or my fave song and they were sold out of his cd's cuz they were priced at $5 bucks).....

    I.... A....

    They used to play Zero Cell&Chimera's music on our local radio rock station back in 03ish....

  5. M.... M....

    The guitar reminds me of Fear Factory, and the piano and the singing reminds me of Faith No More.

    M.... M....

    That's cool, I personally love both bands. I have All the Fear Factory cd's and the frontman has such a unique, awesome voice!!!!! Love me some Pantera and Alice in Chains as well lol....Peace all, I'm out........

  6. C.... B....

    Im 36 and have known about this song for 8 years. still my favorite metal song ever. ive got filthy hands. I jumped. you don know me at all.

  7. u.... t....

    El piano es el directo culpable de lo bestial que es esta canción : D

  8. M.... Z....

    When did Billy Corgan join

  9. L.... S....

    nostaugia lembro dos meus 17 anos

  10. T.... D....

    Delivering pizzas to this is so metal. 🤘

  11. A.... G....

    Anyone know where the sample in the beginning comes from? It sounds so familiar.

  12. C.... N....

    Shroom is better then slipknot I been a fan since 10,000 cadilacs

  13. L.... D....

    these BLOODY hands!

  14. R.... M....

    Look Mushroomhead are trailblazers they started the entire nu metal genre. My home state band and I've seen them a lot. Saying that I've been a bigger fan and supporter of slipknot over the years. Not because Mushroomhead sucks but because I just gravitated more towards slipknot. Yes these bands are both nu metal and came out relatively close though Mushroomhead beat them by a few years all this hatred is utter bullshit and mainly stemmed from Mushroomhead die hards. Yes they are similar but still nothing alike. It's like saying hey man I love Nirvana but fuck stone temple pilots. It's idiotic, good music and genre's come in droves and the simple minded people who create turmoil over artists giving us all a peice of themselves and giving us shelter and refuge to escape from the mundane existance of our realities just need to grow the fuck up

  15. D.... G....

    Excellent Band 🥁👍🏻

  16. D.... P....

    ... can't get over this song .... master piece I can feel the feelings

  17. D.... B....

    This band helped me survive the apocalypse. Thanks guys. Jeff Hatrix is a genius. His lyrics even as solo artist "NOTHING" are very on point with the spiritual revolution that is going on.

    D.... B....

    Def agree here I'm sure u prob already have but check out doom candy as well his other new band

  18. A.... H....

    5:00 Greatest ever

  19. B.... ....

    I love this song! Probably my favorite on the entire album. I especially love the breakdown with the synthesizer at 3:40. They incorporate that so well with this song as well as many of their other tracks.

  20. G.... S....

    This was a mistake but the best one like be born

  21. R.... T....

    It's meatl soul

  22. R.... T....

    This band and . Nenh ring a bell but in my head

  23. R.... T....

    I think alot of rippoffs out there

  24. D.... G....

    Excellent, And Great Lyrics 🥁👍🏻

  25. P.... C....

    I am pretty sure it has been said before, but man, that piano is what really makes this song stand out for me!

    P.... C....

    The piano is a piece of another song/cover.

    P.... C....

    @Glendola M. Dennison oh shit it's a sample? If you ever remember what it is please let me know!

  26. b.... m....

    Been seeing these guys since they were playing birthday parties in the garage and later at vrock lol. I met slipknot getting off a tour bus in Ashtabula at flying j truck stop and talked with then a while. They asked if I liked their music and I told them I'd never heard them I just heard they were some band that rips off mushroom head. They didn't like me after that lmao. Years later they grew on me a little but shroomhead is way better and always has been. Rep Cleveland motherfuckers!!!

  27. K.... K....

    Just turned on to Mushroom Head, going to the show in D-Town Denver tonight...I love the heaviness of it with a hint of violin in the background! OH YEAH!

  28. M.... R....

    Just WoW!! Love Mushroomhead Forever :)

  29. 1.... S....

    I'm so glad I grew up in Cleveland and got to see mushroom head just about every weekend at small clubs since they came together in 93. Funny how it was just a side project so the guys could do something other than their main bands at the time.

  30. K.... C....

    Hi metal Brothers

  31. K.... C....

    I love Slipknot
    I also have a slipknot shirt that I bought in Rome

  32. K.... C....

  42. M.... D....

    Listening to the shit that got me through my teen years brings back so many emotions

  43. c.... w....

    personally slipknot sucks mushroomhead 4 life

    c.... w....

    caleb wolfy personally you can't compare two totally different subgenres xD

    c.... w....

    caleb wolfy Mushroomhead reminds me of Faith No More and Mr. Bungle than Slipknot anyway

  44. w.... a....

    Heavy metal is mi silence. It helps me block out the nonsense so I can enjoy the music.

  45. M.... o....

    The beginning dialogue sends chills through every nerve in my body. I can't help but listen to it over and over untill ive fully absorbed that dark sensation. Mushroomhead keep it real as fuck.

  46. R.... M....

    The rain will cleanse me!

  47. L.... M....

    A band that never lost what made them great

  48. C.... B....

    Jeffery nothing rules

  49. I.... ....

    This song helps me process the dark shit in my life
    I love Mushroomhead so much

    mushroom head rock. james ur thi best

  77. M.... ....

    All these years, I still have no fucking clue how "Petroleum Jelly" fits into the song. Lol

    M.... ....

    Midnavi He says "its like pulling one hair with wet fingers, petroleum jelly" He's literally saying that he's trying trying to pull one hair with petroleum jelly on his fingers which is hard to do. He's figuratively saying that he's trying to do an impossibly hard task.

    M.... ....

    Huh. Never read the lyrics that way. Thanks for the heads up.

  78. M.... ....

    I accidentally downloaded a mushroomhead song on Napster when looking for Slipknot. Best accident ever...next to my son :D

    M.... ....

    Omg this is the best xD

    M.... ....

    Daughter* lmaoooo0

    M.... ....

    @Gannicus dude "gift from the gods" is an expression it doesnt mean the person actually belives in any religion. im atheist and i still say "swear to god", "thank god" and shit like that

    M.... ....

    Napster. I remember that. lol

  79. M.... M....

    mushroomhead is my #1 favorite band

  80. W.... S....

    W.... S....

    Ikr. I dont see any lyrics

    W.... S....

    +Hannah Marie check description

  81. M.... ....

    Beautiful Piano and Voice Mushroomhead Thanks bro for Having their Album cd.

  82. J.... W....

    i have to say I was a all out slipknot fan and then just one random day I went into bestbuy about 17 years ago and was just making a random pick...but when I saw the XX album...something told me I need this and it was the best random buy I ever made...EVER!!! thank you filthy hands for this!

    J.... W....

    true, I did too

    J.... W....

    Same thing happen to my older brother but he was looking for the disturbed new album and saw the Face and picked it up thinking it was a disturbed CD

    J.... W....

    Same!!!! So funny man!

    J.... W....

    Me too!

  83. C.... M....

    i love this song by mushroomhead helped me get through all the misery i go through seeing them live was a blast to much fun!

  84. T.... ....

    That is one big green lightsaber.

    T.... ....

    mine is red

  85. k.... s....

    love that song

  86. L.... C....

    gotta get me a filth,like this.top track.

  87. J.... O....

    Shroom iz da Shiznit

  88. J.... L....

    This band is great because they aren't trying to be mainstream. Good job Mushroomhead. Sneak attack rock slash metal. It's always fun to impress people with shit they never heard!!!

    J.... L....

    +James Stephen yeah agreed, still to this day you can't say they are copying or following other bands. They are just one of the originals following their own path.

    J.... L....

    +HardcoreLives666 There are a ton of shitty bands whose path they've followed...

    J.... L....

    +Jason Lloyd very origonal music, i dont care for most of their stuff(just not my bag), but they arnt producing another clone like evryone else tries. something new and unique, i think this band deserves alot more recognition than they have gotten all the years. I mean Icp got out there, why cant this band get a lucky break?

    J.... L....

    ICP also pushed their name in the wwf and with the gathering....

    J.... L....

    No disrepsct to the Clownz because for a couple dudes with a 10th grade education they know how to start a cult & capitalize on minions that feel like buying merch....merch...merch & more merch will bring them closer to shangri-la.......'I'm a be down, I'm a be down, Down with the Clown til I'm dead in the ground' or opening a show with a call/response chant before they even come out 'We'll never die alone, juggalos will carry on, swing our hatchets if we must, each & every one of us" and they had venues packed with ppl reciting the shit like drones after they would hold a free in store signing just a couple hours before the show & honestly I loved their music til they started with all that family, family, woop woop sh!t.....they toured with shroomhead & 3 mix mafia or *da mafia 6* 2 years ago & since then it seems like mushroomhead took notice of the merch game.......not saying anything bad about mushroomhead.....I had been wanting a mushroomhead football jersey for years & after touring with ICP I've finally had the chance to buy 1......ICP did a 'Old Shit Tour' where they just do their old albums in entirety..and shortly after Shroomhead held a 20th Anniversary Superbuick show......fuckers know how to start a cult......why they don't just go jim jones with it, idk?!

  89. D.... P....

    You say QQ! I say fuck you!  I agree! "These Filthty Hands" sounds great!

  90. r.... b....

    Fuckin awesome either way!!!!!!!

  91. A.... B....

    Korn doesn't compare at all earlier korn or not!!!!

  92. R.... S....

    Does anyone know what the children are talking about at the beginning?

    R.... S....

    +Rick Siler i wanna know it too bro

    R.... S....

    This album is about abuse...so just use an educated mind and i think you know what i'm pointing towards...these filthy hands....(Child molestation)

    R.... S....

    think...put yourself in a victims point of view....

    These Filthy Hands

    All These Thoughts And Feelings Are For Naught
    Unappealing So You Expect Them To Dull And Fade
    Still They Remain

    Caught Waiting For The Rain
    Time Devours Life
    With My Soul As The Defendant
    Don't Catch Me If I Fall
    I May Have Jumped You Never Know
    You Don't Know Me At All

    R.... S....

    I've found all the other samples. This is the only one I can't find.

  93. j.... ....

    I've been following Mushroomhead since they were just a local act in Cleveland....this song will always be my favorite. No matter what we do in life, we can't escape the past...we will always be washing our filthy hands.

    j.... ....

    my hands are clean.. the murder weapon on the other hand....

    j.... ....

    An inevitable yearning for a rebirth, but knowing it is impossible? The soul can only outrun the heart at this life's end. Then where to. Always my favorite song as well, guy.

    j.... ....

    @sixfootcorpse well put!

  94. R.... S....

    Which is heavier, (older)KoRn or Mushroomhead

    R.... S....

    @SixString Rebel Mushroomhead plays in Bb and Korn in A standard, a half step difference. Mushroomhead uses 7 string guitars and 5 string basses just like Korn does.  

    R.... S....

    both eat lots of pussy!

    R.... S....

    +Verlassenen Menschmashine Mushroomhead is way heavier kuz J-Mann does death metal in some songs like, Destroy The World Around Me

    R.... S....

    +Verlassenen Menschmashine J-Mann makes them heavier

    R.... S....

    Verlassenen Menschmashine mushroomhead
