"Knack For Life"

Knack for life
What it is, what it is, what is it?
Knack for life
Can I get a hint?
Knack for life
Done gone missin'
Knack for life
It's been out of print

My grandma told me when you pick a new friend
Try to picture if he still be there at the end
Way pass the sound of that old chopper
Gonna bring about the first copper

Knack for life
What it is, what it is, what is it?
Knack for life
Can I get a hint?
Knack for life
Done gone missin'
Knack for life
Yeah it's been out of print

Her sweet oldtimer told me
If you drop bread on the floor
What's picked up fast ain't fallen
It won't count as beastie
And I believe him
He came home from 4 year war
And on the top of that
He lived another 60

Have you had a 1000 years
You could of build your Ark
Society's hidden rules you would crack
But the way that you kid yourself
With your young beauty self
You cheating yourself out of that knack

Knack for life
What it is, what it is, what is it?
Knack for life
Can I get a hint?
Knack for life
Done gone missin'
Maybe that's a reason
Why it's out of print

In devastation central report of stolen gold
And the Grandest Canyon is between the young and old
But how long can you run a nation
On a steady diet of full-timer discrimination?

Knack for life
What it is, what it is, what is it?
Knack for life
Can I get a hint?
Knack for life
Come on, go there
Maybe that's a reason
Why it's out of print

Have you had a 1000 years
To figure it all out
Society's hidden rules you would crack
But the way that you kill yourself
To sonder your lineage
You cheating yourself out of that knack

Knack for life
