Knife Thrower - Spermbirds

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
