Behind the Back

Rumors growing like a cancer From the rotting fester of envy Sleazy liars, character assassins In the shadows lay their seed These two-faced snakes Crawling before you Serpents, vermin, waiting to jump you Weaving webs of poisonous chatter Sweet-talk facing you in daylight Spitting venom in the dark [Chorus]: Behind the back - what you cannot see (B.T.B.) - They pull the knife on you, the hypocrites fight cowardly Behind the back - (To) get the best of you (B.T.B.) - when you've got friends like that you don't need any enemies Greedy, groping for attention Always hiding their real intentions Never honest, ever intriguing Sing a poisoned song of praise They never say What they are thinking Phony brothers speaking with two tongues Join our posse, dis 'us the next day False friends, we can do without you We have others we can trust Beat it if you want to kiss ass If you want to give us the back stab We don't need you spreading dirty stories We just want to bang in peace You'd better not Play us for suckers Say it, shout it, tell me to my face I would like to get it from you straight You got anything to say, man? Do it like you're not a rat [Chorus] Behind the back - what you cannot see (B.T.B.) - They pull the knife on you, the hypocrites fight cowardly Behind the back - (To) get the best of you (B.T.B.) - when you've got friends like that you don't need any enemies Get off our back, Mac
