By the skin of my teeth, by the sweat of my brow
 I made it through, but you don't know how
 When it's a matter of life or death
 I'll drag it out so don't hold your breath
 
 Put me in danger and I feel no fear
 Take something from me and I'll shed no tears
 I'm self-contained and I want what I need
 You have to work hard just to see me bleed
 
 Oh, laughing in the face of danger
 Oh, in this passion of a stranger
 Oh, laughing in the face of danger
 Oh, in this passion of a stranger
 Yeah, I don't need your love
 Yeah, I'm gonna spill your blood
 
 Sliding down on a slippery slope
 Inside see that there are no ropes
 
 I have to confess that I feel no shame
 I'm gonna have fun playing out this game
 
 It's true that the dead men tell no tales
 I'll be the judge when you tip the scales
 Where's the intelligence that comes with age
 I don't need religion or a self-help sage
 
 Oh, laughing in the face of danger
 Oh, in this passion of a stranger
 Oh, laughing in the face of danger
 Oh, in this passion of a stranger
 Yeah, I don't need your love
 Yeah, I'm gonna spill your blood
 
 My path is to race against the anger
 In the past when I’ve laughed in the face of danger
 I’ve been asked to embrace a stranger
 As I leave into the grass of my sexed-up neighbors
 
 A rash as I race from nations
 As I walk a straight path in a wasted nation
 See me defend in at worst of places
 In an effort to suppress & to test my patience, but
 
 I make immovable objects
 Hoping to get them moving in an immovable context
 They confess like a thief in the night
 For a foundation when they’re deep as behind the dog cat fights
 
 You’re always trying to sabotage
 Dressed in camouflage
 Double down the laws trying to burn like a camouflage
 Fill a prescription like a doctor
 No one led by this fool that thinks we shall prosper
 
 Oh, laughing in the face of danger
 Oh, in this passion of a stranger
 Oh, laughing in the face of danger
 Oh, in this passion of a stranger
 Yeah, I don’t need your love
 Yeah, I'm gonna spill your blood
