[Verse 1] Somebody once said But I don't recall who You got to stick it to them Before they stick it to you And you know that it ain't right But it's happening anyway In every walk of life You see it going down every day [Chorus] Oh, a knife in the back Another knife in your back And it's always a friend With their hand upon the blade And the Scars that they leave Stay with you to the grave And it doesn't matter why And it doesn't matter who It doesn't matter where or when No matter what you do Oh, a knife in the back Another knife in your back [Verse 2] And we've all got it commin' Nobody gets away [Instrumental Bridge] [Verse 3] Well I heard that revenge Was a dish best servedbcold But I'm not so sure Just what I've been told And the lesson to be learned Well, that's a mystery to me And the moral of the story Sometimes you just can't see [Chorus] Oh, a knife in the back Another knife in your back Yeah, a knife in the back Another knife in your back
