You gotta be crazy, 
you gotta have a real need 
You gotta sleep on your toes 
and when you're on the street 
You gotta be able to pick up the easy meat 
With your eyes closed 
And 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 and 
the firm handshake 
A certain look in the eye and an easy smile 
You have to be trusted by the people, that you 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 going to get harder and harder, and harder 
As you get older 
And in the end you'll pack up and fly down south 
Hide your head in the sand 
Just another sad old man 
All alone and dying of cancer 


And when you loose control, 
you'll reap the harvest, you have sown 
And as fear grows, the bad blood slows 
and turns to stone 
And its too late to loose the weight, 
you used to need to throw around 
So have a good drown, as you go down, alone 
Dragged down by the stone 


I gotta admit that 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 on my own ground, 
How can I find my own way out of this maze? 
Deaf, dumb and blind, you just keep on pretending 
That everyone's expendable and 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 a back? 
Who was breaking away from the pack? 
Who was only a stranger at home? 
Who was ground down in the end? 
Who was found dead in the phone? 
Who was dragged down by the stone?


Who was dragged down by the stone?
