lyrics

A knife in your hand and a stab in the back
the whole world is watching, you're on the attack
i don't understand what you're trying to say
The wolves and the snakes sit watching you play

don't say a word if you don't understand
get yourself by with your head in the sand
don't say a thing if you give no reprieve
It's better to die on your feet
than to live on your knees

a knife for a tongue and you're ready to kill
the whole world is waiting, ready and still
observing the masses as you sit on your throne
the walls are all falling on the safety of home

but you're not as strong as you thought you were
gotta stop the ache, because the drugs don't work
you've tried so hard, but your head still aches
hanging from a branch that you know will break
it's too late

a knife in the throat and a sting in your eye
gotta catch up or it will leave you behind
a road you can see, a wagon to jump
a leader to follow, a pill that will numb
