Lyrics:
I hear you on the radio
You permeate my screen, its' unkind but
If I met you in a scissor fight
I'd cut off both your wings on principle alone
On principle alone
Hey megalomaniac
You're no Jesus
Yeah, you're no fucking Elvis
Wash your hands clean of yourself baby
Maniac, step down, step down
If I were your appendages
I'd hold open your eyes
So you would see
That all of us are heaven sent
There was never meant to be only one
To be only one

Every generation has a megalomaniac. Masterclass thrill inducing song
This is so good but you must hear “Whispering Wolf” or “The Wave” by SLT 🐺🤘🎧🤘🐺
This band has some of the most beautiful lyrics ever written. Yes 2024 is here! Big and beautiful! If you've never watched their Red Rocks shows you're missing out
🤪🇺🇸💩☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️👽🇻🇳🇽🇰🇷🇪🈁🌞💤🕳️⭐☦️😍🇻🇮😡🌟🔥🤎🌛🇻🇦0️⃣🥰✡️💥💜💙💀🇹🇹😤🇹🇼😎💨💦😎
Song is blatantly about George W Bush in case anyone is wondering
In retrospect all it's ironic that all the anti-war sentiment that popped up around 04 on was like "we're there for oil". Saddam was really like the closest thing to Hitler we had. Look up the mass graves in Iraq on Wikipedia if you have any doubt. Oil? Hidden WMDs? God forbid we did some actual good there. Shout out to the Arab Spring.
I thought it was written about my neighbor Jerry Spegginplat. I talked with the band and they told me they've been observing Jerry and he was the inspiration for this song. Jerry Spegginplat is the epitome of a megalomanic.
otep's warhead music video about george w bush must have upset some people because for years you couldn't find it at all. it's finally back now.
@@Bern_il_Cinq lmao there are a lot of bad guys.. doesn't mean we helped Iraq
Meanwhile Jerry Spegginplat is rising to power with ill intent for humanity. He's gained an enormous following.
This song will seemingly NEVER lose it's legitimacy.
I find it absolutely appalling that it's still relevant, we're supposed to progress but, we haven't, not one iota
@@veronicaalleyne 💯%
16 years later and that chorus still gives me the chills every single time.
What Happened To Incubus
@@kevinheatcoat2190 They still release stuff
It's about Anthony Kiedis
Just one of many amazing songs by this band
@@KaleidoscopeMagic ...😆😆😆
Those songs that ages really well like a fine wine.
For real
Just like Brandon...
Water over wiiine?
Wolfman Hold the wheel and drive?
Dude your not wrong
Imagine figuring this song out from your childhoods meaning today is more prevalent of a message than ever in today’s times
Imagine hearing it as a kid and knowing the meaning and it still hit hard in your adult life... when will things change?
It was already relevant. 9/11, the Iraq War, global warming already underway, and the 2008 financial crisis was being set up. That Billy Joel song “We Didn’t Start the Fire” is cheesy but true. Crazy shit is always happening and will continue to happen. Shit that happened in the past will be repeated and unprecedented things will also occur.
For me, it was Job For a Cowboy. Their songs Embedded and Altered from Catechization were some of my favorites growing up. Let me tell you, these songs were so brilliantly orchestrated and lyrically perfect I never wanted to look up the lyrics (knowing the lyrics takes some of the magic out of a song). When I learned last year what these songs were talking about, I was completely flabbergasted. I was also set to be baptized in a few weeks as well. On JFAC's wiki page, it said the band members "felt strongly compelled to write this album (Genesis)" and they disbanded shortly after its completion.
every time is troubled
@@syrikasp33 when we change them. Too much cowardice and backstabbing out here won't let anything happen its infuriating really.
🔥🔥 🔥 I remember when it played on mtv for just a few times before it was taken off. It blew me away and still that riff , them lyrics, the video everything still give me chills !! One of the best songs of all time
Bro same here, it got like zero play on trl, n i thought it was a banger, i bought the cd for like 16 bucks at walmart, put it on my mp3 player that held like 16 songs, n bumped it in my chevy luv for years lol. sick sad little world was my fave song, n the whole album was prettyy much a banger! at least the first half
@@trope5105 Ahh right on.. And after this song their music stoped playing that much on mainstream channels and radio. But they still kicking ass and love that album. Sick sad little world is an amazing track too !! I remember seeing them in London back in 2008 for their Light Grenades tour & they kicked ass and one of my favorite shows
Brandon Boyd is an amazing musician, singer, & artist. Love this song & all Incubus.
This could come out today and it'd be just as relevant.
Even more so i believe
@Mmmm Nahh Anybody but Trump cuntservative.
Eric Blaydes I think it’s even more relevant. trump makes bush look like the tooth fairy!
Robin TheHood that’s actually The Who
I was just thinking that. He even has a pompadour. lolol
Literally this song is more relevant now than ever
It'll be relevant as long as there are humans.
Also watch Kubrick's Dr Strangelove
@@Tary88 so true
It was always relevant, ppl just starting to understand the signs, a LITTLE BIT.
dudeeee i was just about to say that this song feels like 2020
One of the best Incubus' songs for sure ❤️🔥
hola, maravillosa canción verdad ?
Drive and Megalomaniac are such great songs. Could listen to quality songs like these all day
Who played the song drive?
@@psycho_dictator Incubus
@@ohioplayer83 this song is from my teenagehood and I'm still listening to it until now 2021
Check out their CD science. It is just fantastic!
Anna Molly?!
"all of us are heaven sent and there was never meant to be only one " truer words have never been spoken !
Even as an athiest, wholeheartedly agreed
Beautiful line right there
Fuckin bitches trying to act supreme here in autumn cove tim 2:12
Still slaps. Still relevant. Unbelievable lyrical abilities.
Exactly. The song is great but the lyrics are what really make it special.
Yeah, slaps peepee
GOD BLESS THE PHILIPPINES! THIS SONG SPEAKS OF THE TIMES OUR COUNTRY IS HEADED TOWARDS!
Yeah! Thanks to Basil, too.😊🎉🎉🎉🎉
This was the first Incubus song I head, and I swiftly bought the album. These guys reinvent their sound with every album. Not many bands manage to do that.
I hear you on the radio
You permeate my screen, its' unkind but
If I met you in a scissor fight
I'd cut off both your wings on principle alone
On principle alone
Hey megalomaniac
You're no Jesus
Yeah, you're no ****ing Elvis
Special, as you know yourself
Baby, just step down, step down
If I were your appendages
I'd hold open your eyes
So you would see
That all of us are heaven sent
There was never meant to be only one
To be only one
Hey megalomaniac
You're no Jesus

Special, as you know yourself
Baby, just step down, step down
Yeah
You're no Jesus

Just step down
*wash your hands clean of yourself
*You burn me in my skin
this is correct...you two are makin shit up
Im sorry, I have a bad habit of posting misinformation everywhere I go online :)
+Jon Smith lmao
This song is never loud enough
can't believe this song came out in 2003 was 15 that time .The first time watching the MV really give me chills of what the future may look like, now almost many years it really give meaning behind events happening today.
What was your favourite thing about growing up in the 90’s?
No fucking cell phones (lol)
Reminds me of my brother, who died when I was a 12 . He is my influence in listening to this kind of songs even it is not the music of my generation.
I used to think this song was weird as a kid, but goddamn it has held up well.
Luke Carney this stuff never gets old, and we need more of it now...
Luke Carney yeah same
Luke Carney if you thought this was weird then you have yet to listen to a lot of music
Same,I was weirded out by the glitchy intro on the CD version, but now I love it
Because history rhymes - ESPECIALLY when ignored.
I don't listen to Incubus all the time but when I do I can't just listen to one song. I have to hear like 10-15 songs before I'm satisfied enough to continue on with life
Haha yup
Hope make yourself is on that list
Hi christine
Relevant back then, and still relevant to this day
Love this band! Brandon Boyd it a genius
No shit Sherlock my auto correct won again. Why do people have to feel the need to correct things that are obviously a mistake? Does it make you feel better about yourself? I really don't get know it alls do you have nothing better to do then try to be little people? You must be very self conscious as I learned in psychology those that pretend to be better then others are really not but they try to make themselves feel that way. I hope your obvious correction of one word made you feel better about your miserable existence... get a life and let me enjoy this lovely non judgemental band. And stop being so annoying maybe then you'll find perfection is one who lives a carefree easy going life not wasting time trying to correct things. Geez!
Incubus: Most underrated Band of the World!
Bush would like a word
Agreed!
I'm here because I remembered about this song... Damn, Incubus made a song about future "Hitler". #slavaukraine
Update the Hit - Put.. 😈
Good lord, this makes too much sense for the current climate.
This is the jam 🤘 but you muse hear “Whispering Wolf” by SLT 🎹🎶🎧
This song was an awakening, even though I still went on to "serve" my government, I'd still acknowledge it as a part of why I feel the way I do, now, even if it took 9 years or so.
Incubus is the voice of reason, they aren't blind, neither was Rush, Pink Floyd nor any GREAT band that DOES NOT IGNORE THEIR OWN WORLD and seek to educate and inform.
.
Thanks Incubus for reminding me just how awesome you can all be. And thank you for kicking my tail end in reminding me that I have a voice as well.
So late to the party, but I just heard this gem, and it's been running through my head all week, and I don't see it leaving.
Oh my gosh, u was missing out! I’ve seen them in concert like four times including the Lalapalooza that had them and Audioslave headlining!
Lagu Saya waktu SMP Incubus good banget
An ode to every Pope! Mr “vicar or Christ” YOU’RE NO JESUS!!! There was never meant to be only one. Bunch of megalomaniacs
This is so good but you must hear “Whispering Wolf” or “The Wave” by SLT 🐺🤘🎧
Wow. This is by no means my type of music but I can appreciate true talent, knowledge and honest.. I watched this video at age six in 2003 on MTV. I remembered the part of the family drinking oil so vividly. This is my first time watching the video since then, now that I am 16 years old I can really comprehend the message behind the video, I realize why it stood out to me so much to me..
This is the 1st music video I could NOT stop watching since Otherside by RHCP
Tem coisas da nossa juventude que quando crescemos nos dá vergonha de admitir e Incubus certamente não é uma delas. Depois de quinze anos ainda me arrepio com essa música.
Acredito que Korn também
Realmente essa música é fascinante! Lembro que a primeira vez que assisti foi na mtv há alguns anos atrás...
Tocava muito na MTV em 2004. Que saudade dessa época.
This song will always be relevant. period.end of conversation.
Exactly.
Big true
Straight fire comment. Couldn't agree more.
Unfortunately
Damn this is nostalgia
Edit: Wow, thanks for all the likes!
I agree..
LET'S MAKE ROCK GREAT AGAIN!
Helllz yezzzz
Reminds me of high school football.
a friend of mine told me recently that nostalgia is life's way of reminding you that you're old lol.
for me the very best of Incubus
I was eight when this song first came out. It was a jam. Completely forgot this existed. Time to binge on more childhood tunes I grew up with
This is so good but you must hear “Whispering Wolf” or “Live Not Survive” by SLT 🤘🎧🐺
This reminds me of the Iraq war, and the 2003-2004 era in general. I was only 12 going on 13… sigh, Simpler days…
Same as me
In 2003 I was 16 and but starting to protest; when I went to university in DC two years later my anti-war protesting really stepped up. I listened to this song a lot.
It's with deep regret that I fear this song is going to become very relevant again by the end of this 2016 Election..
Post it everywere. It was made in the bush period. i thought of this song too .
that is what brought me here. Yes spread it like wild fire
Psilovecybin And ten months later, we are shitting our pants. This ass is more unbelievable than anyone could have imagined.
@Psilovecybin the mushrooms made you fucking prophetic "shithole" indeed!
Relevant again every 4 years.
I'm an LP fan and that's why I decided to go to the concert. But I have to admit Incubus did a great job. They did something that LP couldn't. Incubus moved the crowd all together and when I was there, this may sound corny but it felt like the crowd was one when Incubus was on stage. Great show all together.
20 years later I am listening again it, I still have memorie when it pump volume up this song in company with friends... all joined a good relax at night... 👍🙂lml
This is so good but you must hear “Whispering Wolf” or “Live Not Survive” by SLT 🤘🐺🎸
This song was about George W. Bush and the 2003 Iraq war.
The band denies it these days, but when this song was released, everybody knew what the song was about. I was only 12 going on 13.
Dude I swear it was about my cat after laying on my laptop keyboard while looking dearing & down on me as if i where Its propiety
Why on earth would they have turned to denying what the obvious intent of this song was? Terrible shame if so, being against that war early on is total badge of honor.
@@mathompson53187 They are too afraid to admit it these days.
But everybody knows the real meaning.
@@mathompson53187 They are denying it because they want to keep their credibility. Obviously.
Minha adolescência resumida em MTV...q fase foda 😍
I Miss The Old MTV Back When They Played Badass Rock Music Videos Now It's All reality Shows Such As Teen Mom And jersey Shore And alot of Garbage On MTV Nowadays.
@@kevinheatcoat2190 MTV censuro este video en sus tiempos
Eu muitooo
Man, I remember when MTV used to play this music video all the time. Back when they were still MTV that is. I was so young and the video always creeped me out haha
I remember when MTV was fresh and cool, I could spend hours watching videos and jamming. Th n ot was VH1, both went down to the drain.
I remember this being on fuse cause MTV was already falling off around this time
[Verse 1]
I hear you on the radio
You permeate my screen, it's unkind
But if I met you in a scissor fight
I'd cut off both your wings on principle, alone
Principle, alone
[Chorus]
Hey, megalomaniac
You're no Jesus, yeah, you're no fucking Elvis
Wash your hands clean of yourself, baby
And step down, step down
Step down
[Verse 2]
If I were your appendages
I'd hold open your eyes so you would see
That all of us are heaven sent
And there was never meant to be only one
To be only one
[Chorus]
Hey, megalomaniac
You're no Jesus, yeah, you're no fucking Elvis
Wash your hands clean of yourself, baby
And step down, step down
Step down
Step down
Step down
Oh, step down
[Bridge]
You're, you're
You're
You're no Jesus
You're no Elvis
You're no Jesus
You're no Jesus
You're no Elvis
You're no answer
Step down, step down
Step down, step down
Hey, hey
[Chorus]
Hey, megalomaniac
You're no Jesus, yeah, you're no fucking Elvis
Wash your hands clean of yourself, baby
And step down, step...
Step down
[Outro]
Step down
Oh, step down
Oh, step down
Step down
Megalomaniacs will exist for as long as oligarchies rule societies. This song will always be relevant.
Haven't listened to this for more than a decade. The chorus still gives me the chills
dude same
@@ammonn9930 yep
The first time I heard this was like 16 years ago and I just now learned what megalomaniac means (arrogant). Now i just listened to it again and it makes so much sense and makes the song so much better. Incubus will always and forever be dope 🙌🏽🙌🏽
I think you meant ignorant when you put arrogant ✔️
@@ryanashcroft4228 Why not both? Ignorant arrogance- it's there. The worst. Yup.
2023. I’m here listening to one of the best bands of all times. God speed everyone and stay strong, the best is YET TO COME
This song is for any culture personality of any culture or party or belief 💯
It's 2014, VEVO, I think we'll survive hearing a couple "fuck"s in a song...
It's actually 2017 here dude, i come from the future.
@@delpierochilipeppers From 2020 and with songs like WAP it's difficult to know how much worse things can get.
A comment that aged well
Where are you getting Vevo from? This is Incubus' offical channel.
@@JohnSmith-qn3ob vevo powers all the music videos on the internet
I was 8 years old, and it was smashing MTV's Screen everyday, miss it.

20 years later and it’s more relevant than ever
Me listens to this as a kid/teen: *for the music*
Me listens to this as an adult: *for the lyrics*
Me listens to this now: *for both*
What are you now, an elderly?
@@JennyTheNerdBat A young adult I guess
So, what’s after adult? Dead?
Funk YEA le GO
@@JennyTheNerdBat you mean an elder. elderly is an adjective.
hits me to the core...amazing band
Remember watching this on VH1 Rocks.. Oh God the nostalgia :)
Thank you, you raging manic band..! Love Always ❤

Such a great band, such great songs! Wish I had the skills of so many great musicians.... maybe I do.
2017 and song still has meaning, Incubus you created a timeless track.
Yeah it's 2022 and even with biden it's legit
The good music is forever.
This music video was banned when it was released...so much for freedom of speech and expresion... Till this day one of the best music videos ever made...
This is so good but you must hear “Whispering Wolf” or “Live Not Survive” by SLT 🤘🎧🐺
Definitely my favorite incubus song
This song and this video are every bit as relevant now as it was when it came out in 2003. It was clearly a commentary on our society at the time...and it's only gotten worse. We all need to rediscover this video and this song.
Dedicate to all those who are on a power trip in this world. The lunacy of fanatics. The sad reality is that the problem is still a current one. It's like cockroaches. You can hardly to get rid of. Anyways! The video is astounding and the lyrics are very strong power of expression in. I can suppose they just poured out of them like a volcano. ;) It speaks itself in a perfectly way.
top cancion
It's election day and I'm gonna have this song blasting for the entirety of it. Be safe out there yall
Their songs always good,
I'm an Incubus fans from Indonesia
Very powerful imagery, a much needed slap in the face, it's a shame they banned this video when it debuted.
Still relevant AF. love this song
@Captain Rupertikjakmos um... okay? Not sure what the point of this comment is but you can keep talking. Strangers on the internet don't affect my self esteem. Kbye.
Remembered this debuting on MTV! Love Incubus always!!!
Esse clipe e incrível e a banda só viveu destes música que via muito MTV
Anos 2000.....
THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL SONG!
Que cancion tan precisa para estos dias
Yes! We r still here.
in its time it was hard for me to digest the musical change that incubus was bringing, but now i recognize the great advance both in techniques and in the natural evolution that the band was taking
This song will never get old.
Agreed
@@stevensimpson8231 I Saw This Music Video On Fuse TV in January of 2004 Which Was 18 Years Ago.
Ever.
2019 anyone? Still one of my favorite.

Seeing for the 1st time in 2020! Long time fan of the song but never saw the video til now 🤯😱

they closed the show last night in St. Augustine with this one lets just say the feeling in the air was pure electricity!
That's so awesome!
Great use of powerful lyrics to convey a message Kevin. Power comes from within expressing without while inspiring others to rise within themselves. Thank you for the continued efforts.
Kevin?
"ye holy buy bull"
The more i watch this video as i get older, the more i fucking love it.
Still so true!
This is so good but you must hear “Whispering Wolf” or “Live Not Survive” by SLT 🤘🐺🎸
Such a powerfully toxic clip and song, a little hard to watch, and not so hard on the ears. Timeless production, 5 stars.
Tão atual. E pensar que é um som de 10 anos atrás.
Just seen them at Louder than Life & their songs as just as relevant as they were when they were released. Solid performance
This needs to be listened more now
More relevant today.....❤❤❤❤6/11/2023
