Lyrics

You've gotta be crazy
 You gotta have a real need
 You gotta sleep on your toes
 And when you're on the street
 You've got to be able to pick out the easy meat
 With your eyes closed
 Then moving in silently, down wind and out of sight
 You gotta strike when the moment is right without thinking
 And after a while you can work on points for style
 Like the club tie, firm handshake
 A certain look in the eye and an easy smile
 You have to be trusted by the people that you've lie to
 So that when they turn their backs on you
 You'll get the chance to put the knife in
 ♪
 You gotta keep one eye looking over your shoulder
 You know it's gonna get harder
 Harder and harder as you get older, yeah
 And in the end you'll pack up, fly down south
 Hide your head in the sand
 Just another sad old man
 All alone, dying of cancer
 ♪
 And when you lose control
 You'll reap the harvest you have sown
 ♪
 And as the fear grows
 The bad blood slows and turns to stone
 ♪
 And it's too late to lose the weight you used to need to throw around
 ♪
 So have a good drown as you go down, all alone
 Dragged down by the stone
 ♪
 I gotta admit, I'm a little bit confused
 Sometimes it seems to me as if I'm just being used
 Gotta stay awake, gotta try and shake off this creeping malaise
 If I don't stand my own ground
 How can I find my way out of this maze?
 Deaf, dumb, blind, you just keep on pretending
 That everyone's expendable, no one has a real friend
 And it seems to you the thing to do would be to isolate the winner
 And everything's done under the sun
 And you believe at heart, everyone's a killer
 ♪
 Who was born in a house full of pain?
 Who was trained not to spit in the fan?
 Who was told what to do by the man?
 Who was broken by trained personnel?
 Who was fitted with collar and chain?
 Who was given a pat on the back?
 Who was breaking away from the pack? (Who was breaking away)
 Who was only a stranger at home? (Who was only a stranger)
 Who was ground down in the end? (Who was ground down)
 Who was found dead on the phone? (Who was found dead)
 Who was dragged down by the stone?
 ♪
 Who was dragged down by the stone?
