[Verse 1]

I would lead a wallpaper life

Or run away to the Foreign Legion

I would lead a wallpaper life

Or run away to the Foreign Legion

And as the tanks roll into town

As the tanks roll into town

A little bit of knowledge will destroy you

A little bit of knowledge will destroy you

As the tanks roll into town

As the tanks roll into town

A little bit of knowledge will destroy you

A little bit of knowledge will destroy you

[Chorus]

I don't know why I feel so tongue tied

I don't know why I feel so skinned alive

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]

Run until your lungs are sore

Until you cannot feel it anymore

Run until your lungs are sore

Until you find that open door

I build you up to pull you down

Tie you to your feet and watch you drown

A little bit of knowledge will destroy you

A little bit of knowledge will destroy you

I build you up to pull you down

Tie you to the stake and watch you burn in hell

In hell

[Chorus]

I don't know why I feel so tongue tied

I don't know why I feel so skinned alive

[Outro]

I'll find another skin to wear

I'll find another skin to wear
