Lyrics
He Knows, he knows...
...Or, I think he does
'Cause when I lived in the ass of the world
He knows, he knows
He knows I'd love to see him happy
Or as close as is allowed
'Cause when I lived in the ass of the world
He knows, he knows
He knows I'd love to see him happy
Or as close as possible
As close as possible, as close as is allowed
My name still conjures up deadly deeds
And bad taste in the mouth
And the police, they actually know me
They said:
"You're just another person in the world
You're just another fool with a radical views
You're just another who has maddening views
You want to turn it on it's head by staying in bed!"
I said:
"I know I do..."
I said:
"I know I do..."
I said:
"I know I do..."
He doesn't know
