Lyrics:

[English]

One Friday night I took a pill or maybe two

Down at the car park I saw everyone I knew

And before the night had started we had planned to crash a party

Just a place that someone knew a local house belonging to a gangster's crew

...

And at the door they shone a light into my face

Have to admit I felt a little out of place

But I made my way inside past a thousand crazy eyes

Then a friend took me aside said everyone here has a knife

I've seen it all

I've seen it all now

I swear to God

I've seen it all

Nothing shocks me anymore after tonight

Those little doves had sent my mind and heart a beating

To say I felt weird really doesn't need repeating

I could sense the mounting tension the atmosphere of violence

And then they took a guy outside and someone stabbed him with a knife

I've seen it all

I've seen it all now

I swear to God

I've seen it all

Nothing shocks me anymore after tonight

...

I've seen it all

I've seen it all now

I've seen it all

I've seen it all now

I swear to God

I've seen it all

Nothing shocks me any more after tonight

I've seen the light

But not the kind I would have liked

...
