Knifethrower

Need to write a letter or screaming would be better
Just to let some people know that I'm still alive
Lately I've been thinking that maybe I should change
But to tell the whole truth I still haven't decided

'cause most situations
are rarely as good
or bad as they seem on the face of it
what's given from the left
is taken from the right
I know all these things 'cause I'm a knifethrower

Everybody's got a fake smile
one that they use every once in a while
Everybody's got a long time
to practise their lies and their smalltown crimes
Everybody every now and then
can use a helping hand from a helping friend
most people got a lot to learn
I know all these things 'cause I'm a knifethrower

Try to tell myself that I know just where I stand
But the conviction that I seek is just not there
Instead a long line
of statements that I`ve eaten
And I'll do it again
'cause I'm a knifethrower

Everybody's got a wrong mind
in a wrong head and a horrible timing
Everybody's being lied to
by everyone else, including me and you
Everybody wants a guarantee
from some so-called god that they can't see
most people don't have a clue
I know all these things 'cause I'm a knifethrower

It's just a goddamn shame
That the one without a thing to say
Always talks the loudest - people listen anyway
Now if I knew what I was doing
Then I probably wouldn't do it
