Dog's Eye View – What I Know Now lyrics

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
