Vigilantes Of Love Thorn In Your Flesh lyrics

Darling, better mend your ways
And mark this word so well
Darling, better mend your ways
Beware the gates of hell

Let me put it all quite bluntly
Let me be most direct
Be the rose you'd love to hold
And the thorn that's in your flesh

Mister, better mend your ways
The time is growing near
The analysts keep talking
While their hearts fail for fear

It's taking inventory of the things
That you respect
Find the rose you'd love to hold
And the thorn that's in your flesh

Children's cries are never heard

By the needle or the knife
I swear, I heard their voices
On the other side of life

Shall we expose this wisdom
To the elements for a test?
Show the rose you'd love to hold
And the thorn that's in your flesh

Prisons and the jail houses
Of this worthless currency
Brick by brick dismantled
By the truth that sets one free

Thrust your hand inside the wound
It's there for you to inspect
Find the rose you'd love to hold
And the thorn that's in your flesh
