The Hardest Cut
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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 knockin' at your door, let 'em knock some more
They're sayin' you need a little protection
But followin' the leader gonna turn you off the religion
It's comin' 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 thе dead of night
But before I did, got my affairs in ordеr and my boots on
The hallelujah choir needs a score
And they're knockin' at my door, let 'em knock some more
They're sayin' I need a little direction
But followin' the leader gonna turn me off the religion
Oh, it's comin' 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
Oh, it's comin' down, the hardest cut
World wars in my mind
Long day into night, the hardest cut
Who's takin' the life?
Here it come now, here it come now
Here it is, the hardest cut
