Shark Tank
from Blueprints For Victory by Hopeless Otis
lyrics
I woke up in a shark tank. I woke up in a wolves den. Woke up with my muscles aching underneath my skin. Now every plan is fool-proof. A work of art. I need an ace up my sleeve like you wouldn't believe. I need a god damn jump start.
Who's to blame I think you know. the gun at your back or the knife at your throat
tell me you're not brainwashed. Tell me you're not like the other ones. Never knowing victory or defeat. So come on motherfucker wipe the whole slate clean
We'll make strides in miles and pass all your trials before we ever live by a code we know we never wrote. And the weight of the world will surely crush you just like it's been crushing me too. Find a way to break through
Who's to blame I think you know. the gun at your back or the knife at your throat
tell me you're not brainwashed. Tell me you're not like the other ones. Never knowing victory or defeat. So come on motherfucker wipe the whole slate clean
we chose this life. Nothing was handed to us
Who's to blame I think you know. the gun at your back or the knife at your throat
tell me you're not brainwashed. Tell me you're not like the other ones. Never knowing victory or defeat. So come on motherfucker wipe the whole slate clean
Who's to blame I think you know. the gun at your back or the knife at your throat
tell me you're not brainwashed. Tell me you're not like the other ones. Never knowing victory or defeat. So come on motherfucker wipe the whole slate clean
We'll make strides in miles and pass all your trials before we ever live by a code we know we never wrote. And the weight of the world will surely crush you just like it's been crushing me too. Find a way to break through
Who's to blame I think you know. the gun at your back or the knife at your throat
tell me you're not brainwashed. Tell me you're not like the other ones. Never knowing victory or defeat. So come on motherfucker wipe the whole slate clean
we chose this life. Nothing was handed to us
Who's to blame I think you know. the gun at your back or the knife at your throat
tell me you're not brainwashed. Tell me you're not like the other ones. Never knowing victory or defeat. So come on motherfucker wipe the whole slate clean
