T. Karras - Snakes in the Grass Lyrics

There are snakes in the grass everywhere you go
Either hidin' in plain sight or in front of your nose
They're not afraid to force you to the ground
And make your life miserable, It's as fucked up as it sounds

In this world, you gotta be careful
For snakes can come from the grass and straight up kill you
With their deadly venom slowly goin' through them veins
Makin' you crazy and insane until you pass away
Nowadays there's more snakes than honorable folks
Snakes lie with their words and people believe what they spoke
Snakes love attention, snakes love to take you down
Fantasize, create drama, turn your smile to a frown
It used to be you could avoid a snake from a mile away
Now it's be afraid of the words that you say
For those snakes can take anything, twist it around
Then call you out publicly with the emoji of a clown
Everything's a trap, all these snakes do is act
Pissin' people off to the point where they react
I despise their spiel, how the fuck can I keep it real
When I can't tell them apart from the average people

There are snakes in the grass everywhere you go
Either hidin' in plain sight or in front of your nose
They're not afraid to force you to the ground
And make your life miserable, It's as fucked up as it sounds

I ask snakes, what the fuck I ever do to you
There's a lot of people out there, why you choose this fool
What's your intention, do you want me for the laughs
Or are you pissed off that I'm always on the map
You make a big deal, out of simply nothin'
You act like divas and I see you frontin'
But you get the attention cause people like to see
Some reality TV where there's drama and beef
I never chose to be a part of this fake ass game
I see your fuckin' behavior and it makes me ashamed
That you'd compare me to some fucked-up derelict
You may hate me but please, don't pretend you know shit
About my life ranging twenty nine or thirty years
Your aggression and anger has got me livin' in fear
Even if I do nothin', I'd still get bitten
Cause the snakes know I'm never ever gonna fit in

There are snakes in the grass everywhere you go
Either hidin' in plain sight or in front of your nose
They're not afraid to force you to the ground
And make your life miserable, It's as fucked up as it sounds
