Pick Up the Knife
by Gregory Treco
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
