|
You gotta be crazy, you gotta have a real need. |
|
You gotta sleep on your toes, and when you're on the street. |
|
You gotta be able to pick out the easy meat with your eyes closed. |
|
And then moving in silently, down wind and out of sight, |
|
You gotta strike when the moment is right without thinking. |
|
And after a while, you can work on points for style. |
|
Like the club tie, and the firm handshake. |
|
A certain look in the eye and an easy smile. |
|
You have to be trusted by the people that you lie to, |
|
So that when they turn their backs on you, |
|
You'll get the chance to put the knife in. |
|
You gotta keep one eye looking over your shoulder |
|
You know it's going to get harder, and harder and harder as you get older. |
|
And in the end you'll pack up and fly down south, |
|
Hide your head in the sand, |
|
Just another sad old man, |
|
All alone and dying of cancer. |
|
And when you loose control, you'll reap the harvest you have sown. |
|
And as the fear grows, the bad blood slows and turns to stone. |
|
And it's too late to loose the weight you used to need to throw around. |
|
So have a good drown, as you go down, alone. |
|
Dragged down by the stone. |
|
I gotta admit that I'm a little bit confused. |
|
Sometimes it seems to me as if I'm just being used. |
|
Gotta stay awake, gotta try and shake off this creeping malaise. |
|
If I don't stand my own ground, how can I find my way out of this maze? |
|
Deaf, dumb and blind, you just keep on pretending |
|
That everyone's expendable and no one has a real friend. |
|
And it seems to you the thing to do would be to isolate the winner. |
|
And everything's done under the sun, |
|
And you believe at heart, everyone's a killer. |
|
Who was born in a house full of pain. |
|
Who was trained not to spit in the fan. |
|
Who was told what to do by the man. |
|
Who was broken by trained personnel. |
|
Who was fitted with collar and chain. |
|
Who was given a pat on the back. |
|
Who was breaking away from the pack. |
|
Who was only a stranger at home. |
|
Who was ground down in the end. |
|
Who was found dead on the phone. |
|
Who was dragged down by the stone. |
