Discover the story of the song > Holier Than Thou – Corey Taylor

The song is about a person who always talks badly about others and gossips, but never looks at their own behavior. The protagonist is telling this person to stop judging and worrying about others, and to focus on themselves. They point out that this behavior is arrogant and ignorant, and that it's not about who you know, but who you are. The chorus repeats that the person is acting as if they are better than everyone else, but in reality, they don't know anything.
