[Verse 1]
Well, it’s the Gway of the world, you wanna Cget the girl
You’re the Gman with the master pDlan
But you jGust got kissed by the grCeat abyss
And you’re faGllin’ as Dfast as you Gcan.
In spite of bGein’ spent and not mCakin’ a dent,
You go Gback to where it all bDegan.
But Gwho the hell knows how Canything goes
‘Cept Gnow you kDnow you cGan.
Well, it’s wGritten in stone, if not fCairly well known,
That Gfellow’s your fellow Dman.
But you Ggot too much, now you’re Cout of touch,
That Gshit’s gotta hit the fDan.
So, boys, tGake a deep breath, it’s lCife or death,
And it’s tGime to understDand.
GSurprise, surprise, right ‘tCween the eyes,
‘Cause Gnow you kDnow you Gcan.
[Chorus]
Oh, it’s Chard to start, it’ll Gtear you apart,
But Cstill you take a Emstand.
Spread the nCews in another man’s sGhoes
‘Cause Cnow you know you Gcan.
[Verse 2]
What you lGack in poise, you make Cup in noise,
No Gshy in your ChDeyenne.
Gonna Gburn that bridge like a son-of-a-Cbitch
‘Cause Gnow you Dknow you Gcan.
If it’s Gunder the sun, it’s been Csaid, been done,
Been sGpoken like SpokDane.
Are you Gleft or right, are you dCay or night,
Are you GGinger or DMarianGne?
[Chorus]
Oh, it’s Chard to start, it’ll Gtear you apart,
But Cstill you take a Emstand.
Spread the nCews in another man’s sGhoes
‘Cause Cnow you know you Gcan.
[Verse 3]
To all you Ggoddam fools, who brCeak the rules,
Said it fGits you like the glDove on your hand
GDon’t forget to Cplace a bet on Gnow you kDnow you Gcan –-
GDon’t forget to Cplace a bet on Gnow you Dknow you Gcan --
GDon’t forget to Cplace a bet on Gnow you kDnow you Gcan –-
