A Steady Hand Lyrics

[Verse 1]
A word to the wise
And then silence was king
You tried it for size
You needed something to believe in
I am not familiar with the words
And I am not familiar with the actions
You lead and I will follow
I cannot conjugate the verbs correctly
I cannot seem to get my point across effectively
I'm a stranger in my own country
I dance and they watch me
I dance and they watch me
I'm a steady hand I have hoops to jump through
I dance and they watch me
I dance and they watch me

[Chorus 1]
We dust ourselves off and it's on with the show
It is all that we want
It is all that we want
The lesser of evils
The devil we know
It is all that we want
It is all that we want
I will pick up the pieces when you give up the ghost
It is all that we want
It is all that we want
And the truth is a dog
But your cheque's in the post
It is all that we want
It is all that we want
[Verse 2]
Take a long hard look at yourself in the mirror
And tell me the first thing that comes into your head
I am the president
I am the president
I am the overfed bigoted son of an immigrant And you're all sailors
Every last one of you
Every last one of you
In the same boat

[Chorus 2]
We dust ourselves off and it's on with the show
It is all that we want
It is all that we want
The lesser of evils
The devil we know
It is all that we want
It is all that we want
I will pick up the pieces when you give up the ghost
It is all that we want
It is all that we want
And the truth is a dog
But your cheque's in the post
It is all that we want
It is all that we want
Brown paper packages tied up with string
It is all that we want
It is all that we want
But it's never enough
And so it begins
It is all that we want
It is all that we want
I'm a steady hand I have hoops to jump through
It is all that we want
It is all that we want
Your eyes to the front
It is all that we want
It is all that we want
It is all that we want
[Outro]
Your eyes burn holes in the back of my head
Is it something I said?
I know my place
Is it something I said?
Eyes to the front
Is it something I said?
