The Hardest Cut lyrics

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
