Tis' the Season to Sharpen Your Knives

(What they do)

(They smile in your face)

All the time they want to take your place

The back stabbers (back stabbers)

(They smile in your face)

All the time they want to take your place

The back stabbers (back stabbers)

All you _____who have ____

And you really care, yeah, yeah

Then it's all of you _____

Who better beware, yeah yeah

Somebody's out to get your ___

A few of your buddies they sure look shady

Blades are long, clenched tight in their fist

Aimin' straight at your back

And I don't think they'll miss

Well... well...well...Like the title reads "tis the season to sharpen your knives." Don't read this and act like you've never done it. Don't act as if you have never sharpened your knives. Ready to cut into the hearts, backs and throats of many people. It's so sad, but so true. We do it all the time. Smile in someone's face and talk about them behind their back. I always pondered the thought of five friends sitting in the room talking about the randomness of life. When one friend leaves and only four are left, do they discuss that one that left? So on and so forth until only that one friend remains, with the tea (information) about the other four. Mmhh.... I can only speak for myself, yes, I am a participant in such unladylike acts, but have I began to make a conscious decision to stop, no. However, I do think it is important to realize that KARMA does exist. Also, I find myself feeling weird about the whole gossip aspect, especially if your my "friend." I wouldn't want my circle of friends to bash me so why would I bash them behind their back. Tisk the reason why my circle changed in size. My mother always said that too many girls hanging around each other is never the best, chicks are catty (lawd knows I wanted to use another word :)) But really, think for a moment, think about how many times in your day have you sat and acknowledged someone else? Do you do it because you genuinely do not like that person or is it because of a present situation that involves that individual? Either way, STFU! Spend a little less time discussing someone else and focus on making a future for yourself! Spend a little more time trying to figure out how to save this hell-bound planet from eternal damnation. Spend a little more time making someone happy, because if you don't you will be a lonely bitter bitch, sipping wine and watching the clouds go by!
