Scratching Your Neck With a Knife
[a hard truth people ]
but you can't reason with those
who rape and stone women to death
treat them like cattle on a regular basis
cut hands from youth for simple theft
toss gay people from roof tops and laugh
you can't trust those who build
from the bones of Cordoba
or the flesh of New York city.
You can't reason with those
who slam planes filled with innocence
into buildings filled with innocence
You can't negotiate
with those that thrive on the carcass of fear
gloat while terrorizing their own
bloat on virgin blood
you can't negotiate with the devil...
only a fool would scratch their neck with a knife.
[a hard truth people ]
