Lyrics
Knife in the Back
You and me,
Have run out of things to say
I?d know you disagree
But it?s always been that way
I can?t believe my eyes
But I should believe them this time
Your lust and greed
Splintering my spine
You?re a victim to none
Flying too close to sun
A heart with good intent
A thirst for first blood
Now I feel like Julius Ceasar,
Dying on the senate floor
I?ve paid your debts, with my own blood
Stood by you, when no one else would
But now this suit doesn?t fit me anymore,
With this knife in my back
I pay my taxes on time
I get to work by nine
Don?t mix Liquor with wine
I don?t cross your party lines
I feel the cold steel
Piercing my skin
And with a rush of blood
You?ve done it to me again
You?ve got lips like Saint Peter
Three times, and the cockrell will crow
I paid your debts, with my own blood
Stood by you, when no one else would,
Engaged in the fight of my life
With your knives in my back
One day I?ll show you what it?s like to live
With a knife in your back
