Knocking on Wood
Lyrics
Look, I don't got a mansion
I've never been to the Hamptons
It's more likely that you'd find me if
You came up here and went camping
I got bills stacked up like Jenga
Respected less than most singers
But you won't see me sulk about or wallow
In self doubt and let that linger
Look, I still haven't been killed
I got pills every time I got ill
I don't got mills to cop drop-tops
Or a house in the hills
But I won't feel sorry for myself
I don't need anything opulent as
Long as I've got oxygen know what I mean?!
Tonight if you see me knocking on wood
That's just because I'm doing so fucking good
I don't hate my life, no, it's going alright
That's why tonight you see
Me knocking on wood
I got all my limbs, I don't got cancer
I'm superb
I never got kidnapped on my way to work
Got free education, bitch I'm learned
But some people aren't so lucky
Knock on wood
I don't got HD TV but I got insulation
I got no Lamborghini's
But I got vaccinations
I got a microwave, I got some pocket change
And even if I didn't, dude, pssh
No complaints
Tonight if you see me knocking on wood
That's just because I'm doing so fucking good
I don't hate my life, no, it's going alright
That's why tonight you see
Me knocking on wood
Peter Sparker back up in this bitch, it's on
It's a free country
I can say what the fuck I want
Shit, bitch, cunt, fuck the government
Buy my songs
Some places, you say shit like that
You get your hands cut off
Lucky, aren't we? All this time
To get drunk and party?
Puke up food while kids are
Starving? All of Somalia, not one Arby's
We're popping water bottles
We're getting tattooed
We're getting fat, taking naps
Eating mad food
Tonight if you see me knocking on wood
That's just because I'm doing so fucking good
I don't hate my life, no, it's going alright
That's why tonight you see
Me knocking on wood
I don't got a mansion
I've never been to the Hamptons
It's more likely that you'd find me if
You came up here and went camping
I got bills stacked up like Jenga
Respected less than most singers
But you won't see me sulk about or wallow
In self doubt and let that linger
Look, I still haven't been killed
I got pills every time I got ill
I don't got mills to cop drop-tops
Or a house in the hills
But I won't feel sorry for myself
I don't need anything opulent as
Long as I've got oxygen sing it!
Tonight if you see me knocking on wood
That's just because I'm doing so fucking good
I don't hate my life, no, it's going alright
That's why tonight you see
Me knocking on wood
Tonight if you see me knocking on wood
That's just because I'm doing so fucking good
I don't hate my life, no, it's going alright
That's why tonight you see
Me knocking on wood
