By the skin of my teeth, by the sweat of my brow I made it through, but you don't know how When it's a matter of life or death I'll drag it out so don't hold your breath Put me in danger and I feel no fear Take something from me and I'll shed no tears I'm self-contained and I want what I need You have to work hard just to see me bleed Oh, laughing in the face of danger Oh, in this passion of a stranger Oh, laughing in the face of danger Oh, in this passion of a stranger Yeah, I don't need your love Yeah, I'm gonna spill your blood Sliding down on a slippery slope Inside see that there are no ropes I have to confess that I feel no shame I'm gonna have fun playing out this game It's true that the dead men tell no tales I'll be the judge when you tip the scales Where's the intelligence that comes with age SongtexteI don't need religion or a self-help sage Oh, laughing in the face of danger Oh, in this passion of a stranger Oh, laughing in the face of danger Oh, in this passion of a stranger Yeah, I don't need your love Yeah, I'm gonna spill your blood My path is to race against the anger In the past when I've laughed in the face of danger I've been asked to embrace a stranger As I leave into the grass of my sexed-up neighbors A rash as I race from nations As I walk a straight path in a wasted nation See me defend in at worst of places In an effort to suppress & to test my patience, but I make immovable objects Hoping to get them moving in an immovable context They confess like a thief in the night For a foundation when they're deep as behind the dog cat fights You're always trying to sabotage Dressed in camouflage Double down the laws trying to burn like a camouflage Fill a prescription like a doctor No one led by this fool that thinks we shall prosper Oh, laughing in the face of danger Oh, in this passion of a stranger Oh, laughing in the face of danger Oh, in this passion of a stranger Yeah, I don't need your love Yeah, I'm gonna spill your blood Aus Songtexte Mania
