Black and Blue

Little white lies
Living in a compromise
You better get wise
He'll cut you down to size
And leave you black and blue

Even the mighty fall
He won't cut you any slack at all
What He wants is to see you crawl
Then He'll roll you up into a ball
And leave you black and blue

His ways are sly
It doesn't matter how much you cry
He'll just hang you out to dry
Then make you feel like you want to die
And leave you black and blue

Problems from a seed that grows too tall
Make you feel your back's against the wall
God is there the moment that you call
He will always catch you when you fall

Little white lies
Living in compromise
Gonna lead to your demise
So you better get wise
Or you'll be black and blue
