Don't Tell And We Won't Ask

Thrice

paint the target

we don't need no evidence

flood the market

we do it all in self defense

you're a smart kid

never work without your gloves

if you're a smart kid

you'll stay the hell away from love



and if it comes to murder

don't tell and we won't ask you how

you sleep at night when the lights go out

and you're all alone

with all the ghosts of lesser humans

whose lives you've spilt to suit your own



sit and think of

all the dollars and the cents

and your blue blood

you'll see it all makes perfect sense

drink from this cup

a better life awaits us all

you're one of us

remember conscience comes before the fall



your actions all are justified

your actions all are justified



and if it comes to murder

don't tell and we won't ask you how

you sleep at night when the lights go out

and you're all alone

with all the ghosts of lesser humans

whose lives you've spilt to suit your own

but don't we all bleed red blood?

don't we all bleed red blood?
