Crooks - New Killer Shoes

‘Cos everybody looks like crooks in the heat

and when you get exposed their double faces wanna meet

I’m sorry if I never seem to look at you and say

Whatever you just said ‘cos it went out the other way

And everybody looks like crooks when you’re down

But when they come around they’re in denials at the ground

I’m sorry if I never seem to look at you and hear

Whatever you just said ‘cos it went out the other ear

He ran away now

‘cos anybody looks real mad when they’re down

but when you’re doing good all they seem to do is frown

excuse me if I never seem to hear what you just said

I’d rather live my life than have you fucking up my head now

He ran away now

‘cos I was always pushed aside

and there is no such thing as pride

mine comes when you arrive

and that’s where I get pride (from a dickhead)

I’m staying alive

Stay alive and see my time

People act so strange when they see that you wanna change

It’s just the same old clowns

All they wanna do is bring you down

He ran away now

Stay alive and watch me shine

Stay alive and watch my time

Oh

I’m staying alive
