"World Keeps a Balance" lyrics by Jeff Behrendt

The world keeps a balance
The world keeps a balance
With the slaughter of the innocents
With the slaughter of the innocents
The world keeps a balance
The world keeps a balance
The world keeps a balance
With the slaughter of the innocents
With the slaughter of the innocents

Death comes packaged in shiny colors
Deprived of the choices that are made by others
Violence rages to the sound of money
People getting screwed and I think it’s funny

The world keeps a balance
The world keeps a balance
With the slaughter of the innocents
With the slaughter of the innocents
The world keeps a balance
The world keeps a balance
The world keeps a balance
With the slaughter of the innocents
With the slaughter of the innocents

Covert struggle with plastic lovers
Habits stolen from the bed of others
Smiling harlots and it sounds like thunder
People fall in love when their six feet under

The world keeps a balance
The world keeps a balance
With the slaughter of the innocents
With the slaughter of the innocents
The world keeps a balance
The world keeps a balance
The world keeps a balance
With the slaughter of the innocents
With the slaughter of the innocents

Piles of money when your in to win it
Lawyer up even if you did it
Grey brain matter and spoon-fed grool
Wartime profit gonna break the rules

The world keeps a balance
The world keeps a balance
With the slaughter of the innocents
With the slaughter of the innocents
The world keeps a balance
The world keeps a balance
The world keeps a balance
With the slaughter of the innocents
With the slaughter of the innocents
With the slaughter of the innocents
With the slaughter of the innocents
With the slaughter of the innocents
