LYRICS
If I could kill a word and watch it die
I’d poison never, shoot goodbye
Beat regret when I felt I had the nerve
Yeah, I’d pound fear into a pile of sand
Choke lonely out with my bare hands
And I’d hang hate so that it can’t be heard
If I could only kill a word
I’d take brokenness out back
And break heartbreak stand there and laugh
Right in its face while shootin’ it the bird
I’d put upset down in its place
I’d squeeze the life out of disgrace
Lay over, under six cold feet of dirt
If I could only kill a word
If I could only kill a word
Give me sticks, give stones
Bend my body, break my bones
Use staff and rod to turn me black and blue
‘Cause you can’t unhear, you can’t unsay
But if were up to me to change
I’d turn lies and hate to love and truth
If I could only kill a word
I’d knock out temptation’s teeth
I’d sever evil, let it bleed
Light up wicked stand and watch it burn
I’d take vice and I’d take vile
And tie ‘em up there with hostile
Hang ‘em high and leave ‘em for the birds
If I could only kill a word
Give me sticks, give stones
Bend my body, break my bones
Use staff and rod to turn me black and blue
‘Cause you can’t unhear, you can’t unsay
But if were up to me to change
I’d turn lies and hate to love and truth
If I could only kill a word
If I could only kill a word
I’d poison never, shoot goodbye
Beat regret when I felt I had the nerve
Yeah, I’d pound fear into a pile of sand
Choke lonely out with my bare hands
And I’d hang hate so that it can’t be heard
If I could only kill a word
I’d take brokenness out back
And break heartbreak stand there and laugh
Right in its face while shootin’ it the bird
I’d put upset down in its place
I’d squeeze the life out of disgrace
Lay over, under six cold feet of dirt
If I could only kill a word
If I could only kill a word
Give me sticks, give stones
Bend my body, break my bones
Use staff and rod to turn me black and blue
‘Cause you can’t unhear, you can’t unsay
But if were up to me to change
I’d turn lies and hate to love and truth
If I could only kill a word
I’d knock out temptation’s teeth
I’d sever evil, let it bleed
Light up wicked stand and watch it burn
I’d take vice and I’d take vile
And tie ‘em up there with hostile
Hang ‘em high and leave ‘em for the birds
If I could only kill a word
Give me sticks, give stones
Bend my body, break my bones
Use staff and rod to turn me black and blue
‘Cause you can’t unhear, you can’t unsay
But if were up to me to change
I’d turn lies and hate to love and truth
If I could only kill a word
If I could only kill a word
