Everything You've Heard
by Caroline Cobb

Album: The Blood and The Breath - Songs That Tell the Story of Redemption

Verse 1
You've heard it said, "Don't you murder anyone"
But you carry your anger like a knife
And your insults like a gun

Verse 2
You've heard it said, "Don't you cheat on your wife"
But your mind is a motel room
And you undress the other woman with your eyes

Chorus
Oh everything you've heard, I'm turning on its head
I'm cutting to the quick of the law and the prophets
I'm gonna finish what they said

Verse 3
You've heard it said "A king will come with a sword"
But I tell you to turn the other cheek
And I'll wear a crown of thorns

Verse 4
Yes, I'm the son of the One
But I've come to wage another war
And I'll bleed for my enemies, and I'll settle the score

Chorus
Oh everything you've heard, I'm turning on its head
I'm cutting to the quick of the law and the prophets
I'm gonna finish what they said

Turn

Chorus
Oh everything you've heard, I'm turning on its head
I'm cutting to the quick of the law and the prophets
I'm gonna finish what they said
Oh everything you've heard, I'm turning on its head
I'm cutting to the quick of the law and the prophets
I'm gonna finish what they said
