An Eye For An Eye
Look at you on your soap box
Voicing loud your views on life
How you'd stop the pain of war
Put an end to all that strife Draw blood with a bullet
Tell me where Or the blade of a knife
you're coming from An eye for an eye
Don't you think Or a life for a life
others have tried
Yet no matter what they do So you think you've
Still the innocent have died found the cure
Take an eye for an eye Found a way for lasting peace
And you know
Draw blood with a bullet you're right of course
Or the blade of a knife With your views
An eye for an eye All wars would cease
Or a life for a life I don't understand at all
How you think you are so right
What gives you Look around you see the truth
the right to preach Man will always fight the fight
On how people live their life Take an eye for an eye
When will all the hatred stop
Guns and bullets Draw blood with a bullet
bombs and knives Or the blade of a knife
Feed the poor An eye for an eye
take from the rich Or a life for a life
Won't this just entice men more
Nothing makes no sense at all Jane Shields (C)
How will this prevent a war
Take an eye for an eye
