Knievel Daredevil

[Verse 1]

You said people can tell when you’re being honest

How 'bout it?

Last week I completely fucking lost it

Put my fist through the door

Not really sure what for

Don't mean to bring you down

It's just better on the floor

If I'm coming clean you should know that I lie

Exaggerate the truth when I'm staring in your eyes

Didn't win the cups

Slam dunk in '05

Got these tiny fucking knees

They never let me go that high

I'll celebrate the small things

Keep the rest hid

The more that I cover

The morе that you dig

I wanna shine like Tyson

Wanna fight like thе sun

Wanna run with my arms out wide

Just to feel young

[Bridge]

If I could go back I would do it one more time

I'd visit myself

The start of year nine

And say

In a slightly more year nine way

[Chorus]

Sit still kid

You don't need another medal

You're a high school kid

Not Knievel Daredevil

I'd say breathe deep champ

Take the pedal off the metal

You're a high school kid

Not Knievel Daredevil

I'd say sit still kid

You don't need another medal

You're a high school kid

Not Knievel Daredevil

I'd say breathe deep champ

Take the pedal of the metal

You're a high school kid

Not Knievel Daredevil

[Verse 2]

Well watching TV only makes me feel blue

I've seen better politicians in the South Perth Zoo

Guess I'll grow up to wake up to be a better man

What a great life lesson from the world's worst man

I want my best friends back from overseas

I wanna laugh at their jokes when I know what they mean

I want my dad to see my face bouncing off the big screen

Wanna give him a reason to be proud of me

I wanna sing all my songs slightly out of tune

The type of singing where you know all my words are true

Kick a hole straight through my guts

Let the sun just shine right through

I wanna love myself as much as I've loved you

[Bridge]

If I could go back I would do it all again

I'd visit myself

The start of year ten

And say In a slightly more year ten way

[Chorus]

Sit still kid

You don't need another medal

You're a high school kid

Not Knievel Daredevil

I'd say breathe deep champ

Take the pedal off the metal

You're a high school kid

Not Knievel Daredevil

I'd say sit still kid

You don't need a fucking medal

You're a high school kid

Not Knievel Daredevil

I'd say breathe deep champ

Be yourself and you will settle

You're a high school kid

Not Knievel Daredevil

[Outro]

I'd say sit still kid

You don't need another medal

You're a high school kid

Not Knievel Daredevil

I'd say breathe deep champ

Take the pedal off the metal

You're a high school kid

Not Knievel Daredevil
