These Backs Are Made For Stabbing Lyrics

You play this game so well
So well in fact that they can tell
But we're on to you (lets go)
Cause your act is nothing new
And we can see right through it now
But that gets old, we're warning you

So if you (swallow your pride)
Should decide to (spill your insides)
Take your time, find your spine
I swear you'll be just fine
If your backbone should find its way home
Through the whole above your neck (is where the trap is set)

You look so obvious...predictable..
And some day your games will catch up to you
So obvious...
And we all know
That some day your games will catch up to
(right now)

You thought I'd fall for your lies
You thought I'd cut off all ties
And if we'd regret this we'd we dead

You show me yours, I'll show you mine
You know sincerity grows in time
Sing it with me if you can

So if you (swallow your pride)
Should decide to (spill your insides)
Take your time, find your spine
I swear you'll be just fine
If your backbone should find its way home
Through the whole above your neck (is where the trap is set)

You look so obvious...predictable..
And some day your games will catch up to you
So obvious...
And we all know
That some day your games will catch up

So cut the apologies in your wrist
And the guilt trip from fingertips
I'm on to you, we're on to you
Now wear this excuse around your neck
I'll kick the chair out from your legs
I'm on to you, we're on to you

You look so obvious...predictable..
And some day your games will catch up to you
So obvious...
And we all know
That some day your games will catch up...
Right now

to the shit "friends" everyone has had at some point:

Take your time, find your spine I swear you'll be just fine If your backbone should find its way home Through the whole above your neck (is where the trap is set)

This song is about a conflict between HTL and The Academy Is... . The Academy wanted certain members of HTL to join the band and HTL felt a different member was more suited for the position. Academy felt their (HTL's) choice of member didn't fit their image; they also told HTL they wouldn't get very far in the music world (which couldn't be more off). And actually, one of the lines in this song, I believe "if your backbone should find it's way home", is in reference to one of the Academy's song from their first EP.

Just looked it up and it's in reference to TAI's song In Our Defense on the first EP. It's in the last verse of the song:

Show a litte backbone. In this hole we've dug, you're never crawling out alive. You won't make it too far, you won't get too far. In this home we've made, you're never welcome again. You wont make it too far. Place your bets son, pay your ransom. You don't know what it is to regret.

AHHHHHH!!!! mistakes galore

mistake:But that gets old, we're warning you correction: Your method's old, worn and used

mistake:And if we'd regret this we'd we dead correction: anymore gutless and you'd be dead

mistake: So cut the apologies in your wrist And the guilt trip from fingertips correction: So carve the apologies in your wrist and let the guilt drip from your fingertips

mistake:Now wear this excuse around your neck correction: now wrap this excuse around your neck
