The song thematizes child-abuse through clerics. Corey Taylor sings from the perspective of a man who has been abused by a priest when he was a child and now confronts his torturer.

Dirty little secret,
Dirty little lies.
Say your prayers and comb your hair,
Save your soul tonight.

Drift among the faithful,
Bury your desires.
Aberrations fill your head,
You need a place to hide
And I am...

Do you remember me?
And the kid I used to be?
Do you remember me?

Chorus:

When your world’s come crashing down
I want to be there.
(If god is looking down on me)

I’m not Jesus,
Jesus wasn’t there!

You confess it all away,
But it don't mean shit to me
(If god is looking down on me)

I’m not Jesus,
I will not forgive!


No I won’t!
No I won’t.

I thought you were a good man,
I thought you talked to god.
You hippocratic, messianic, child abusing-turned-satanic.

Do you remember me?
Do you remember me?
And the kid I used to be?
Do you remember?

Do you remember?

Chorus:

When your own world comes undone,
Let me be the one to say:
(If god is looking down on me)

"I’m not Jesus,
You can’t run away!"

And the innocence you spoiled
Found a way to live.
(If god is looking down on me)

I’m not Jesus
I will not forgive!


I will not forgive.
I won’t be whatever you wanted.
I will not forgive.
I won’t be whatever you wanted.

Do you remember me?
And the kid I used to be?
Not the same as I used to be!
Oh, do you remember me?

Nooooooo!

Chorus:

When your world comes crashing down,
I want to be there
(If god is looking down on me)

I’m not Jesus,
Jesus wasn’t there

You confess it all away,
But it dont mean shit to me!
(If god is looking down on me)

I'm not Jesus,
I will not,
I’m not Jesus,
I will not forgive!

Oh, I will not forgive, yeah yeah!
No, I will not forgive!
