Lyrics

[SIMON] When they're throwing stones and breaking bones Don't talk to me of love Turn your cheek, be one of the meek Inherent dirt, not heaven above Wake up, the world is black or white Bow down or fight, don't whine to me of love Turn your cheek, be one of the meek Inherent dirt, not Heaven above An eye for an eye [PETE] Leaves the world blind If we killed, we'd betray his life [SIMON] And blood for blood [PETE] Will drown mankind [SIMON] If wе had killed, he'd still be alivе The truth of his life cuts like a knife It's a thin razor edge that we walk When loves hangs on tree, don't preach forgiveness to me Or that "love your enemy" talk Love lies in a grave, you want to be saved? You wanna live out the rest of your life? Then pick up the knife Pick up the knife Pick up the knife An eye for an eye [PETE] Leaves the world blind If we killed, we'd betray his life [SIMON] And blood for blood [PETE] Will drown mankind [SIMON] If we had killed, he'd still be alive Don't tell me I'm the only one who feels this way Love's a dead end, you've gotta know we've been played Don't pretend you can't see that his promise was lies Power's the key, power's the prize So cut yourself free, it's in blood we baptize Pick up the knife
