Lyrics

Gimme a Knife

You will die- just like that
Don't you ever, ever in your life
Go to California, or you'll get shot
And there's something else...
Don't let him talk
He's crazy
This is- Channel Ten news
Ten, nine, eight, seven, six
Five-four-three-two-one
Hello, there's been an accident

Dress like a knife
Gimme the knife
I'll put that knife in my brain
It's something to do
I'll blame it on you
And bow to the devil and pray

I loved you Jesus
You raped the world
I feel defeated
Guess I'll go surf

Wooh-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo
Wooh-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo

Dress like a knife
Gimme the knife
I think I'm going insane
It's something to do
I'll blame it on you
And bow to the devil and pray

I loved you Jesus
You raped the world
I feel defeated
Guess I'll go surf

I loved you Jesus
You raped the world
I feel defeated
Guess I'll go surf

Wooh-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo
Wooh-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo

Wooh-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo
Wooh-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo

Wooh-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo
Wooh-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo

Wooh-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo
Wooh-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo

Wooh-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo
Wooh-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo

(What's this for?)

I loved you Jesus
You raped the world
I feel defeated
Guess I'll go surf

I loved you Jesus
You raped the world
I feel defeated
Guess I'll go surf
