Backstabbers

I was born out in a borough
I was born inside a void
I was looking out for something, man
That couldn't be destroyed
Running through the city
With somebody else's sins
Well, all I ever wanted
Was just somewhere to begin

Well they stab you in the back
And they wanna see you crack
And they say you'll go to heaven
In a brand new Cadillac
They wanna see you hurt
And they treat you just like dirt
And you soon find out that
Life is just a four-letter word

I was dealing with a feeling
Like a poor boy on the line
I was 16 years old
In an A state of mind
I was hanging out at Playland
With some kids from Ozone park
Playing computer games
And learned to kill like a shark

Well they stab you in the back
And they wanna see you crack
And they say you'll go to heaven
In a brand new Cadillac
They're giving you a script
And they wanna see you trip
But you spit the poison out
Cause you're sick of being sick

Hey, tell me what do want
Tell me what do you want from me?

Hey, tell me what do want
Tell me what do you want from me?

Well I made an appointment
Cause I needed some advice
But the doctor and the dealer, man
Were charging the same price
They say they want my body
But they can't touch my soul
I'm gonna keep my distance, man
And play some rock and roll

They stab you in the back
And they want to see you crack
And they say you'll go to heaven
In a brand new Cadillac
They tell you it's a sin
Then they want to stick it in
But all you ever wanted
Was just somewhere to begin

Hey, tell me what do want
Tell me what do you want from me?

Hey, tell me what do want
Tell me what do you want from me?

I've seen some roll over
Some just grow colder
And turn to stone
And I
I won't be broken
I won't be stolen
I'll let it roll
