a gun that shoots knives - skinned knees lyrics
[verse 1]
well, falling on your head is something anyone can do
it’s not that hard to hit the ground
but the ground is hard when it hits you
and it’s a long long wait for that skateboard to come rolling back to you
you’ve got to jump right up and grab it
before it rolls off into traffic
[chorus]
and i’m proud to be
someone who does things that sometimes scr-pe my knee
makes me remember why i do anything at all
when you’re born, it hurts to open up your eyes
when you’re grown, it hurts to fall down
[verse 2]
so pour out a little blood for those who’ve fallen here before
they’d rather give their lives for fun than lose an arm for some d-mn war
i’ve got no affiliation, there’s no group i’d call my own
but when i’m with the ones who live for fun, that’s when i feel at home
[chorus]
and i’m proud to be
someone who does things that sometimes scr-pe my knee
makes me remember why i do anything at all
when you’re born, it hurts to open up your eyes
when you’re grown, it hurts to fall down
[verse 3]
accountants, lawyers, doctors, bookmen, prost-tutes, and thieves
you are the food this country eats and we’re the refuse that it leaves
we’re working oh so hard to make d-mn sure we’ll never work hard again
there’s only two things in this world and that’s your family and your friends
[chorus]
and we’re proud to be
the ones who do things that sometimes scr-pe our knees
makes us remember why we do anything at all
when you’re born, it hurts to open up your eyes
when you’re grown, it hurts to fall down
