lyrics

knock knock knock on wood
'til I'm understood
I won't hold my breath
No no not just yet
I won't go suffocating
Just to find a friend

I am of the age
Where I pay my wage
To society
Ten percent a week
But what does it get me?
More roads that I don't need

You're no more than me
What else can I believe?

I am on my way
To my final day
There won't be a noise
Just another boy
On his way to hell
Don't you know he fell
