Lyrics
Under The Knife
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Are you drunk or has your ego grown
And swallowed you whole
No wonder I would rather be under the knife
Commandeer most accused
Just want to be tossed aside to
Know when to fight
Who has the life to spend on this
When you're the last to know
I started 1976
And that wasn't fast enough
I planned a journey 'round your psycho fury
Go ahead call me a nervous
Life just owes ya something
Give me the knife
Who has the life to spend on this
When you're the last to know
I started 1976
And that wasn't fast enough
It's in the back of the mind
In the back of the mind
It's in the back of the mind
It's in the back of the mind
Well who has the knife to settle this
When you're the last to know
I started 1976
And that wasn't fast enough
Well who has the life to spend on this
When you're the last to know
I started 1976
And that wasn't fast enough
It's in the back of the mind
In the back of the mind
It's in the back of the mind
It's in the back of the mind
