EVERY GIRL NEEDS A KNIFE song lyrics
by Joel Sattler

every girl needs a knife
like the high priest needs a scythe
open the chest and take a heart
offer it up to the morning star
you have to make the sacrifice
you can be killed if you're too nice
the Aztecs had it right
every girl needs a knife

this whole dam world it is at war
nobody knows the reason for
nobody can be safe from rape
nobody ever can escape
if you are kidnapped kick and scream
don't pretend it's all a dream
nobody gets out of here alive
every girl needs a knife

was there a time we were at peace
when you could still trust the police
when the night was silent not
full of screaming and gunshots
when every man he was your brother
instead of something else another
and it was easy to survive
now every girl she needs a knife

they say a gun can equalize
but a gun won't dam your eyes
don't be taken by surprise
get yourself a knife

this is the world we live in
and it's only gonna get worse
there aint no use to argue
aint no use to curse
it's not that you can't be happy
it's not that you can't trust men
just don't be a sap
and don't get fooled again

so when you're walking home at dawn
and you got stilettos on
and you're drunk with booze and love
and the sky goes red above
just remember in your gut
who is who and what is what
it's up to you to save your life
every girl needs a knife
