My oh my, I'm seeing the potential Lets just see what we can do First we'll take you down back to the meathouse And then you'll hold their hands again I know tricks that you could only dream of Looks like it's your lucky day A killer key change Is all you'll ever need But who needs enemies When you've got friends Now your hands are tied And who needs accidents When you've got me Now I'm on your side Now let's try and teach you how to mingle Then we'll teach you how to kill Lies will always be your best of best friends Never be alone again A killer key change Is all you'll ever need All these animals That you call friends Now they're on their knees Man, you tricked 'em all You played the fool So damn easy to please I made my name in function rooms And drifting through the walls Come on let me teach you boy Teach you 'bout it all All these animals That you call friends Now they're on their knees Man, you tricked 'em all You played the fool So damn easy to please
