Shot By Both Sides

(album: EP's Going Steady - 1998)

This and that they must be the same
What is legal is just what's real
What I'm given to understand
Is exactly what I steal

I wormed my way into the heart of the crowd
I wormed my way into the heart of the crowd
I was shocked to find what was allowed
I didn't lose myself in the crowd

Shot, shot
By both sides
On the run
To the outside of everything
Shot, shot
By both sides
They must have come
To a secret understanding

New offenses always in my nerves
They're taking my time by force
They have to write all the books again
As a matter of course

I wormed my way into the heart of the crowd
I wormed my way into the heart of the crowd
I was shocked to find what was allowed
I didn't lose myself in the crowd

Shot, shot
By both sides
On the run
To the outside of everything
Shot, shot
By both sides
They must have come
To a secret understanding

"Why are you so edgy, Kid?"
Asks the man with the voice
One thing follows another
You live and learn, you have no choice

I wormed my way into the heart of the crowd
I wormed my way into the heart of the crowd
I was shocked to find what was allowed
I didn't lose myself in the crowd

Didn't lose myself in the crowd
Didn't lose myself in the crowd
I was shocked to find what was allowed
Didn't lose myself in the crowd
But I'm on my way, but I'm on my way
But I'm on my way, but I'm on my way
But I'm on my way, but I'm on my way
But I'm on my way, but I'm on my way

Shot, shot
By both sides
I don't ask
Who's doing the shooting
Shot, shot
By both sides
We must have come
To a secret understanding
