  • (One, two, one, two, three, four)

    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 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'll say I need a little direction
    But following the leader
    Gonna turn me off the religion
    (Oh yeah)

    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

    (La, la-la)
    (Ooh)

    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 Writer/s: Alex Fischel, John Britt Daniel
