I was born a loser

A black cat to call who cared

And nobody here's gonna bother me

inc ase I flare

My life's been hard, so I got tough

'll take no shit from you

I was raised on the back street flats

Kinda back street zoo

There's been nothing but knives and dives

There's been nothing but knives and dives

All my friends, well they ain't good

From the wrong side of the tracks

They've been caught breaking the law

They ain't never gonna come back

But I'm pretty smart

A clever guy, a real human fox

There ain't nobody here

Gonna corner me for no metal box

There's been nothing but knives and dives

There's been nothing but knives and dives

Swing it on out, bring it on in

Crime can always pay

As long as you know when to show yourself

And when to stay away

You gotta be smart

There's been nothing but knives and dives

There's been nothing but knives and dives
