The Hardest Cut

(One, two, one, two, three, four) You took off in the dead of night But before you did Got your hair combed right, yeah The neighborhood watch knows the score And they're knocking at your door Let 'em knock some more They're saying you need a little protection But following the leader Gonna turn you off the religion It's coming down The hardest cut World wars in your mind Long day into night The hardest cut We live on a knife Here it come now Here it come now Here it is the hardest cut I took off in the dead of night But before I did Got my affairs in order and my boots on The hallelujah choir needs the score And they're knocking at my door Let 'em knock some more They'll say I need a little direction But following the leader Gonna turn me off the religion (Oh yeah) It's coming down The hardest cut World wars in my mind Long day into night The hardest cut We live on a knife Here it come now Here it come now Here it is the hardest cut (La, la-la) (Ooh) It's coming down The hardest cut World wars in my mind Long day into night The hardest cut Who's taking the knife Here it come now Here it come now Here it is the hardest cut
