By the skin of my teeth, by the sweat of my brow
I made it through, but you dont know how
When its a matter of life or death
Ill drag it out so dont hold your breath
Put me in danger and I feel no fear
Take something from me and Ill shed no tears
Im self-contained and I want what I need
You have to work hard just to see me bleed
Oh, laughing in the face of danger
Oh, in this passion with a stranger
Oh, laughing in the face of danger
Oh, in this passion with a stranger
Yeah, I dont need your love
Yeah, Im gonna spill your blood
Sliding down on a slippery slope
Inside see that there are no ropes
I have to confess that I feel no shame
Im gonna have fun playing out this game
Its true that the dead men tell no tales
Ill be the judge when you tip the scales
Wheres the intelligence that comes with age
I dont need religion or a self-help sage
Oh, laughing in the face of danger
Oh, in this passion with a stranger
Oh, laughing in the face of danger
Oh, in this passion with a stranger
Yeah, I dont need your love
Yeah, Im gonna spill your blood
My path is to race against the anger
In the past when Ive laughed in the face of danger
Ive been asked to embrace a stranger
As I leave into the grass of my sexed-up neighbors
A rash as I race from nations
As I walk a straight path in a wasted nation
See me defend in at worst of places
In an effort to suppress to test my patience, but
I make immovable objects
Hoping to get them moving in an immovable context
They confess like a thief in the night
For a foundation when theyre deep as behind the dog cat fights
Youre always trying to sabotage
Dressed in camouflage
Double down the laws trying to burn like a camouflage
Fill a prescription like a doctor
No one led by this fool that thinks we shall prosper
Oh, laughing in the face of danger
Oh, in this passion with a stranger
Oh, laughing in the face of danger
Oh, in this passion with a stranger
Yeah, I dont need your love
Yeah, Im gonna spill your blood
