Switchblades of Love

Lyrics

[Verse 1] For all those spirit children who came in here in the name of love Into this world with its bottom line of flesh and blood For all those women beaten in the name of love Yeah, and for those that struck the blows Mother, father Sister, brother Friend and foe And the lovers, of course [Verse 2] Like this kid, he's walking on down the street one day When he sees his love, she's just rolling by But in the arms of another now, riding high He tries so hard just to be a littlе macho cool Yeah, but he's a wounded fool And blood's running down his sidе Aw, the blade, he cried It's quicker than the eye [Chorus] Switchblade of love Switchblade of love They're not coming from no God above Coming out of our broken heart Maybe they'll tear some old myths apart The switchblades of love [Verse 3] Me, I think I'm gonna go out here and put my switchblades down Put 'em way on down there in the ground No applause, there won't be a sound Just a rusty spade down in that honest earth And I will bow down to the stars I'll ask forgiveness for the scars Oh, that I have made In the name of love [Chorus] The switchblade of love Switchblades of love They're not coming from no God above They're coming out of our darkest heart And they're tearing us apart The switchblades of love Switchblade of love Switchblades of love They're not coming from some God above Coming out of our darkest heart They've been tearing us apart The switchblades of love
