Are you sure you really know what you would do?
Are you sure your alright?
Not in a night of fright
Would your hand betray
Send a knife into your wife's laced back?
Then you'd never come back.

Are you sure you wouldn't
In a prophesied pique
Strangulate the lives of your children
For their many indiscretions?

It's not so hard really
All you'd need is a drink!
To make you think.

What about the boss?
Are you really going to stand for this?

Much easier to make him die
Then let him keep you live
In your little cubicle, a cage.

Who's to say you wouldn't just go insane?
Snap with a crack?

We are who we are
Made of antic clay
Waiting for someone to unlock our lock
Unleash our darkest thoughts.

Then we'll say to ourselves in our best inside voice
Are you sure?
Are you sure?
