This is the way that they play it on Papa Roach's demo album "Let Em Know!" It's a lot faster, and it's more of a punk rock version than the one on "infest". This is 99.9% correct, and if you don't like it, you can lick my salty nuts! ha ha, this band kicks ass!

Lyrics

My words are weapons in which I murder you with,
please don't be scared please do not turn your head
we are the future, the 21st century dislexit
loose giving cyber sluts, with homicidal minds and handguns

we are the same, nothing will change
we are the same, we are the same

There is a thin line between what's good and what is evil
i will tip-toe down that line but I feel unstable
my life is a circus, and i am trippin' down that tight rope
theres nothing left to save me now, so I will not look down

and again, and again, and again, and again
it happens again, and again, and again,
AND IT HAPPENS AGAIN
and again, and again, and again,
AND IT HAPPENS AGAIN, AND AGAIN, AND AGAIN

There is a thin line between what's good and what is evil
i will tip-toe down that line but I feel unstable
my life is a circus, and i am trippin' down that tight rope
theres nothing left to save me now, so I will not look down

Oh no! Oh whoa no!
Oh no! Oh whoa no!
Oh no! Oh whoa no!

There is a thin line between what's good and what is evil
i will tip-toe down that line but I will feel unstable
my life is a circus, and i am trippin' down that tight rope
