Keep your friends close and your enemies closer. They might be one and the same.
lyrics
Dirty work to do and the laundry to clean
Hog tied at the end of a rope
So common place it seems to have become routine
Who’s out and who’s in on the joke?
A fool’s errand chasing tails
Caught off guard and bound to fail
It's you who’s left holding the bag
A fool’s errand beg and wail
Box of curves and old wive’s tales
You’re “it” and there’s no one to tag
The Snipe hunt is on but who’s in on the con?
Spent years being left in the dark
A hazing ablaze playing a losers game
The last one to know is the mark
A fool’s errand chasing tails
Caught off guard set up to fail
It's you who’s left holding the bag
A fool’s errand beg and wail
Lobster Gun and old wive’s tales
You’re “it” and there’s no one to tag
Here we go, another round
A falling tree that makes a sound
A bridge that’s connecting a bridge
Monotonous ancillary bit
Test of wills test of wits
And pranks that are as vicious as Sid
One more time, one more round
Lost at sea and gone to ground
Clowns running circles in the dark
A tired bit that’s blow to bits
Fraying nerve and shaking fits
It’s never been a walk in the park
The glass hammer falls
Nails fools to the wall
The imbecile’s call
Will land on us all
The blind lead the blind following the unkind
What's fiction and what's blurring the facts
By swinging a cat there’s no doubt that you’ll find
Another fool to strap on the rack
A fool’s errand chasing tails
Caught off guard set up to fail
It's you who’s left holding the bag
A fool’s errand beg and wail
Spark plug sparks and old wive’s tales
You’re “it” and there’s no one to tag
One more time, one more round
Lost at sea and gone to ground
Clowns running circles in the dark
A tired bit that’s blow to bits
Fraying nerve and shaking fits
It’s never been a walk in the park
Here we go, another round
A falling tree that makes a sound
A bridge that’s connecting a bridge
Monotonous ancillary bit
Test of wills test of wits
And pranks that are as vicious as Sid
The glass hammer falls
Nails you to the wall
The imbecile’s call
Will land on us all
