about

About this track:

Oh, the music industry. About as filthy as music is sexy.

lyrics

Lyrics:

C-c-cut! Ch-ch-chop!
Take a stab and let it ride,
We'll take a stab and let it ride
Make a stab to stay alive
Now fake a smile.

Here we go (oh oh!)
It's coming out tonight,
You walk the streets without a knife,
That might not be too bright
(watch your back, alright?)
What's that sound (oh oh!)
Well guess what I just found?
They tear you down all over town
So you're better never turning around...

Playing to survive,
Come on, just how friendly is this fight?
Don't believe the hype,
Tell you that they love you but they lie.

Best move your feet—
Come get up out your seat!
There's stabbing in the street—
Backstabbin' to the beat.

(Chorus)

Better lookout... they're out... lookout...
Ya better lookout... they're out... lookout you
Better lookout... they're out... lookout...
Ya better lookout... they'll catch you—
Gonna cut-cut-cut ya.

Jump, jump to it
Gotta keep your body moving
Get down with it
Gotta be the one to do it
'Cause they'd rather catch ya— cut ya— lookout!!

(Chorus)
