Malice Toward None - Deadman

Well, I have been thinking for way too long

About how to deal with offence

How Abraham Lincoln wrote with his pen

And made all the confusion make sense

And brought all the soldiers to tears

And still a nation’s great fears

Malice toward none

Malice toward none

Help us to live with malice toward none

Malice toward none

Malice toward none

Help us to live with malice toward none

Now in tense situations I find myself

And some days for vengeance I yearn

And Lex Talionis sounds like a good plan

Until it becomes my turn

'Cause I don’t like the taste in my mouth

And I don’t like my ways to head south

Malice toward none

Malice toward none

Teach me to live with malice toward none

Malice toward none

Malice toward none

Teach me to live with malice toward none

Between a rock and a hard place I find myself wedged

And it looks like I’ll get no relief

When I’m battered and bruised by the people I trust

And I can’t seem to hold on to peace

But I can’t seem to hold to the phrase

And it gets me through the darkest of days

Malice toward none

Malice toward none

Teach us to live with malice toward none

Malice toward none

Malice toward none

Teach us to live with malice toward none
