Well I been lost in the backbeat It seems like everything's wrong Well I been strapped in the backseat No matter how sad the song It seems like everything I do is wrong It's just as stupid just to sing this song And people tell me just to leave it alone Well I been down but not alone Cons and tricks that get me through, aahhh I'm full of cheats, I'll cheat you too, aahhh Manipulation gets me through, aahhh The point being that you never knew That you never knew That you never knew No matter how bad the habit I'll have you push it along We seem to be these great maggots A facist plastic song It seems like everything I get is gone It's just as tragic just to sing this song My mother tells me not to do no wrong And little kids they sing along Cons and tricks that get me through, aahhh I'm full of cheats, I'll cheat you too, aahhh Manipulation gets me through, aahhh The point being that you never knew That you never knew That you never knew You know that everything you ever told me has been wrong It seems like everyone's opinions just can't be wrong It's a matter of words don't get me wrong You know that everything you ever told me has been wrong (Interpretations of backyards They seem to push me along Interpretations of lost arts They seem to dictate the song) I try to rub out the habit It seems to push me along No matter how bad you had it Someone else rolls along It seems like everything I get is gone As highway rollers seem to roll along The song is over now please move on Well I been down but not for long Cons and tricks that get me through, aahhh I'm full of cheats, I'll cheat you too, aahhh Manipulation gets me through, aahhh The point being that you never knew That you never knew That you never knew
