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
