You  see the world through your cynical  eyes,
 You're a troubled  young man, I can tell.
You've  got it all in the palm  of your hand,
 But your hand's  wet with sweat  and your head  needs a rest.
And  you're fooling yourself if you don't believe  it.
 You're kidding  yourself if you don't believe  it.
Why  must you be such an angry  young man?
 When your future  looks quite bright to me.
And  how can there be such a sinister  plan,
 that could hide  such a lamb,  such a caring  young man?
 And you're fooling  yourself if you don't believe  it.
 You're killing  yourself if you don't believe  it.
 Get up,  get back on your feet.
 You're the one they can't beat, and you know  it.
 Come on,  let's see what you've got.
 Just take your best shot and don't blow  it.
 And you're fooling  yourself if you don't believe  it.
 You're killing  yourself if you don't believe  it.
 Get up,  get back on your feet.
 You're the one they can't beat, and you know  it.
 Come on,  let's see what you've got.
 Just take your best shot and don't blow  it.
 A seventies smash from Kraziekhat.
