What I Know Now

Dog's Eye View

There are no angels

Only patronizing saints

Who would gladly keep you out of trouble

But never let you forget

That you came



There are no favors

There are no truly kind deeds

It's just pay now and pay more later

And we'll help you get what you need



And when I find myself

In times of trouble

Usually give up nothing to win

And nothing to lose

I'll wish you luck



There are no rules here

Just piles of mistakes

That we say we've learned from

Then we go ahead and make



Faith is a lazy way of trying

To get what we want

Without doing anything at all

To help bring it along



And when I find myself

In times of trouble

Usually give up nothing to win

And nothing to lose

I'll just wish you luck



And did I want the freedom

To be myself

Or the freedom to fuck around

Did I just want the freedom to fail

Without bringing you down?



I thought I loved you,

But now I know

I was just confused

And going through the emotions

Until we were both

Completely bruised



I hope I'm happy because

We both know I'm not kind

I just keep kicking up my heels

Without thinking of you

Standing behind me



And when I find myself

In times of trouble

I usually give up nothing to win

And nothing to lose

You know it just gets hard to choose



And when I find myself

In times of trouble

Always just give up

And I don't know what to tell you,

Well I know what I'd like to tell you

I'd like to call you up and tell you

What I know now

What I know now,

What I know...
