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