a protest song.
Revenge is always just a scratch below everybody's skin...

lyrics

VOODOO INK words & music Bill Mallonee c.BMI 2017
It came in broad daylight....from hell's deepest reach
It came dressed up in flags....lying through it's teeth
It asked for your allegiance; i could not count the raised hands

Chorus:
And what I wanna know....
do you ever even the score?
with the blood that gets shed, counting the dead?
in the endless war?

Do the math in the battlefields; count the coffins they load
bloodshed begets bloodshed...thus saith the Lord
Revenge is always just a scratch below everybody's skin.

now every bullet was spent....knives back in their sheaths
widows grieving, dressed in black wandering the streets
it's all voodoo ink...stained by a mother's tears
