The Mission - Running With Scissors

The only way that I'll make the papers
These days is if I load a gun
And fire a bullet into my brain
But then again the hackneyed hacks
Will only write I'm only jumping
Someone else's train it's always the same

And I can't begin to tell you now
How many strange beds I have known
I was never one to kiss and tell
But I do have a scandal to sell

Didn't your mother tell you don't run with scissors?
You might just fall and hurt yourself

They could impale you so don't run with scissors
'Cause being stabbed is not good for your health

No I won't confess all of my sins
'Cause some of my sins are your sins too
I'd rather die on my feet
Than live down on my knees

It's a dangerous game running with scissors
Wouldn't wish you to fall and hurt yourself
It's such a crying shame to see you running with scissors
But stabbing yourself is exactly what you deserve

So why don't you put those scissors down before you hurt someone?

The Mission - Hdshrinkerea

Your psychobabble is so alien to me
And I don't understand your pyschotherapy
I don't want your conversation
I don't need no explanation
When you spout your blah blah blah and your cod philosophy

My signed Bukowski you sold behind my back
And undermining is your chosen mode of attack
I don't want your measured excuse

I don't need cerebral abuse
You know I know the truth and the truth is you're a quack

And the things you preach are all in breach
Red flags are raised sets me ablaze
And the things you say give it all away
And the things you do all betray that you
You're a headshrinker

The Mission - To Love & To Kill With The Very Same Hand

Don't ask me to choose when you give me no choice
And does it make you sigh when you hear my voice?
I don't wanna be raped, I wanna be seduced
And if you open your arms, I will call a truce

'Cause I don't understand what drives a man
To love and to kill with the very same
The very same hand

And God cursed man when He made woman bleed
You broke the code, you dishonored the creed
And you dance to the beat of a different drum
And you're under the thumb and more lucky than some
And we can never know when the last kiss will come

'Cause I don't understand what drives a man
To love and to kill with the very same hand
And I don't understand what drives a man
To love and to kill with the very same, the very same hand

Does it make me weak to turn the other cheek?
Don't bind yourself with promises, with promises

And I don't understand what drives a man
To love and to kill with the very same hand
And I don't understand what drives a man
To love and to kill with the very same, the very same hand

The Mission - In Silhouette

Just because you disagree
It doesn't make, it doesn't make me wrong
And just because you think I'm weak
It doesn't make, it doesn't make you strong

Push me too far or hurt what's mine
I will retaliate, I won't hesitate
I've told you once and now I'm telling you twice
I will retaliate, make no mistake

Do you get what you deserve
Or deserve what you get?
'Cause only guilt can break a man
Break a man more than regret

Push me too far or hurt what's mine
I will retaliate, I won't hesitate
I've told you once and now I told you twice
I will retaliate, make no mistake

You can't take back the things you say
Or the love you've given away
Success is getting what you want
But happiness is wanting what you get
I'm in silhouette

Push me too far or hurt what's mine
I will retaliate, I won't hesitate
I've told you once and now I told you twice
I will retaliate, make no mistake

I won't forgive and I won't forget
I will retaliate, I won't hesitate
And you will live with cold regret
I will retaliate, I'm in silhouette
