Interloper

by The Mark of Cain

The Mark of Cain is a hard rock/alternative metal band from Adelaide, South Australia. Their style has been likened to that of Helmet and Rollins Band, yet this band predates both of those groups and was influenced by the early work of Joy Division and US hardcore. The Mark of Cain was formed in 1984 by brothers John (guitar) and Kim Scott (bass guitar), with Rod Archer on vocals and Roger Crisp playing drums. Before long, Archer had left the group and John Scott took on the vocal role; The Mark of Cain has remained a trio ever since. The Scotts have been the core of the band which has featured some 15 different drummers. Currently, that position is held by former Helmet member John Stanier, who is also concurrently with Tomahawk and Battles.

You ought to know what a liar I can be
I lay my cards on the table 
I let you know everything about me 
So how the fuck didn't you know? 

You only saw what you wanted to see 
You only heard what you wanted to hear 
But just the same, but just the same 
What gave you the right to interfere? 

What I needed to know 
What I wanted to know 
What I needed to know 
Who made you the interloper? 

What I needed to know 
What I wanted to know 
What I needed to know 
Who made you the interloper? 

You wanna know about misdirection? 
You wanna know about misconception? 
Well all these things, all these things 
How the fuck couldn't you know? 

You only saw what you wanted to see 
You only heard what you wanted to hear 
But just the same, but just the same 
What gave you the right to interfere? 

What I needed to know 
What I wanted to know 
What I needed to know 
Who made you the interloper? 

What I needed to know 
What I wanted to know 
What I needed to know 
Who made you the interloper? 

Interloper

You sick, you fuck 
I took you in, you turned me out 
You sucked me in, I spat you out
