Lyrics
Knife In The Back
Somebody once said, but I don't recall who.
You've got to stick it to them, before they stick it to you.
And you know that it ain't right, but it's happening any way.
In every walk of life, You see it going down everyday.
A knife in the back. Oh a knife in your back.
And it's always a friend, with thier hand upon the blade.
And the scars that they leave, stay with you till the grave.
Well it doesn't matter why, and it doesn't matter who.
It doesn't matter where or when, no matter what you do.
Oh a knife in your back. Another knife in the back.
And we've all got it comming
No body gets away.
I heard that revenge, was a dish best served cold.
But I'm not so sure. That's just what I've been told.
And the lessen to be learned. That's a mystery to me.
And the moral of the story, sometimes you just can't see.
A knife in the back. Oh a knife in your back.
