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 ]
