Lyrics
You took off in the dead 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're saying I need a little direction
But following the leader
Gonna turn me off the religion, oh
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
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
