lyrics

You used to keep a razor under your tongue
Cut opponents so quickly they’d never feel it done
Until the red rushed over hands clenched in pain
Until light left their eyes and thoughts left their brain

But that was when your razor loved fools
It chased to slice them open and undo rules
It raced to teach lessons outside of schools
it ranked pain among its most effective tools

Razors and bombs, my baby
Razors and bombs for everyone
Cut you down and blow you up
Put more poison in my loving cup
Razors and bombs, my baby
Razors and bombs for everyone

You used to keep a bomb inside your chest
Surprise everyone with what’s beneath your vest
Until its pressure blast no longer asked permission
Until its smoke and ash demanded our submission

But that was when your bomb loved fools
It chased to slice them open and undo rules
It raced to teach lessons outside of schools
it ranked pain among its most effective tools

Razors and bombs, my baby
Razors and bombs for everyone
Cut you down and blow you up
Put more poison in my loving cup
Razors and bombs, my baby
Razors and bombs for everyone

But now you say you know a better way to live
And now you’d like to think of an alternative
To taking lives away and somehow maybe give
A little something for the pain if not a sedative
