Knievel Daredevil

You said people can tell when you’re being honest
How 'bout it?
Last week I completely fucking lost it
Put my fist through the door
Not really sure what for
Don’t mean to bring you down
It’s just better on the floor
If I’m coming clean you should know that I lie
Exaggerate the truth when I’m staring in your eyes
Didn’t win the cups
Slam dunk in '05
Got these tiny fucking knees
They never let me go that high
I’ll celebrate the small things
Keep the rest hid
The more that I cover
The mor that you dig
I wanna shine like Tyson
Wanna fight like th sun
Wanna run with my arms out wide
Just to feel young
If I could go back I would do it one more time
I’d visit myself
The start of year nine
And say
In a slightly more year nine way
Sit still kid
You don’t need another medal
You’re a high school kid
Not Knievel Daredevil
I’d say breathe deep champ
Take the pedal off the metal
You’re a high school kid
Not Knievel Daredevil
I’d say sit still kid
You don’t need another medal
You’re a high school kid
Not Knievel Daredevil
I’d say breathe deep champ
Take the pedal of the metal
You’re a high school kid
Not Knievel Daredevil
Well watching TV only makes me feel blue
I’ve seen better politicians in the South Perth Zoo
Guess I’ll grow up to wake up to be a better man
What a great life lesson from the world’s worst man
I want my best friends back from overseas
I wanna laugh at their jokes when I know what they mean
I want my dad to see my face bouncing off the big screen
Wanna give him a reason to be proud of me
I wanna sing all my songs slightly out of tune
The type of singing where you know all my words are true
Kick a hole straight through my guts
Let the sun just shine right through
I wanna love myself as much as I’ve loved you
If I could go back I would do it all again
I’d visit myself
The start of year ten
And say In a slightly more year ten way
Sit still kid
You don’t need another medal
You’re a high school kid
Not Knievel Daredevil
I’d say breathe deep champ
Take the pedal off the metal
You’re a high school kid
Not Knievel Daredevil
I’d say sit still kid
You don’t need a fucking medal
You’re a high school kid
Not Knievel Daredevil
I’d say breathe deep champ
Be yourself and you will settle
You’re a high school kid
Not Knievel Daredevil
I’d say sit still kid
You don’t need another medal
You’re a high school kid
Not Knievel Daredevil
I’d say breathe deep champ
Take the pedal off the metal
You’re a high school kid
