LOOKS ARE DECEIVING

LOOKS ARE DECEIVING

Oh lord, don’t you cut me down
I’m growing tired of your words floating round, well
Go stick your worn out lines
Right where the sun don’t shine
Go on your way and I’ll be on mine

Oh lord, don’t you test my will
You’re taking aim but darling, I shoot to kill, well
My trigger finger’s primed
You’d best rethink your crime
Or find yourself on borrowed time

CHORUS
Coming, going
I guess there’s no real way of knowing
Staying, leaving
My eyes have learned that looks are deceiving

Oh lord won’t you loose your reigns
The higher road to take ain’t paved with disdain, well
It’s such a sorry sight
To think you’re always right
But one day, your eyes will see the light

Oh lord, don’t you cast that stone
Last time I checked, you don’t live in a glass home, well
How sad you’ll never see
The forest for the trees
No wonder your conscience ain’t clean

CHORUS

BRIDGE
Don’t you tread on me
Your lies ain’t fooling anybody
Go on your way, you dual-headed snake
I’ve reached the end of what I can take

CHORUS
