 Rate They Know Me
Artist : Voltaire
Song : They know me
He slips in through the back door and helps
himself to the patients' medicine. And he likes
to look important. And he always looks like he's
important. And each tale that he tells of the
lives that he's saved is a spade full of dirt as
he's digging his grave. And the deep blackened
hollow he's patched with a badge is the happiness
he's never had, and he says, "It's all right, they
know me here. It's all right, they know me, they
know me." His flames are yesterdays tinsel and
his belly's the sail that propels him onto the
rocks. And you know that even the noble Don
Quixote would call him a mile away for a
windmill. And each Sunday that passes he's rid of
his sins and he's ready to do them all over again.
And God won't be mad for the money he stole, he
put some in the offering bowl. And he says......
Soon comes the moment that all souls await, just
as sure as St. Peter will padlock the gate. But
deep in his wallet's a shiny new coin so, he
turns and he winks and says...... Devils, for
liars, put brands on the fires and everyone burns
with your glowing, red name on it. Finally, you've
come to a place where they know you well.
