"Show Him The Ground" lyrics
"Show Him The Ground"
Did the fighting begin
With a knock on your chin?
With the dirt on your clothes
Or the blood from your nose?
Did you curse his name
And the woman who gave him the same?
Would it make you feel much better
To show him the ground?
Do you think you'd be weak?
If you both turned the cheek
There's a cloud in the sky
Blocks the sun from your eyes
If you curse his name
And the woman who gave him the same
Would you feel big and strong
The next time that they come around?
