lyrics

Eye for an eye © Tony king 2012

You can tell a person from the enemies he keeps
From the prejudice in us that runs so deep
Walk a mile in a stranger’s shoes
One day, it could be me or you

There’s a detonator, in everybody’s rage
And a finger on the button of what we don’t understand
A child shouldn’t live in a razor wire cage
Or walk with one leg to the Promised Land

With one eye on vengeance
And one eye on Blame
There’s no eye for an eye that won’t blind us to shame

look a mile through the enemies eyes
and discover how they see you and I
or you can join the dots between the lies
if you read the truth that money can buy

With one eye on vengeance
And one eye on Blame
There’s no eye for an eye that won’t blind us to shame

Why are they angry?
And so ready to die?
Love takes the question mark from why…..

The Middle East was created under pressure
Crazy as a picture painted by Escher
Is there a leader in the world who really cares
Enough to climb the difficult stairs

With one eye on vengeance
And one eye on Blame
There’s no eye for an eye that won’t blind us to shame

to shame

to shame

to shame

about

Beautifully Mad image

Beautifully Mad Sydney, Australia

Breathtaking original music reminiscent of the beauty of James Taylor, some honey from Melody Gardot, a lyrical spice of Cohen washed down with some Waits-like humour. A musical flame that licks at the heels of Folk and Jazz
