Twisted Scripture

Somebody's shooting up the high school
Somebody's shooting up the mall
Somebody's shooting up heroin
Cause the life that they made was too small
Oh somebody's twisted scripture
Now they're determined to kill us all
Mazel tov, salaam aliykum
Smoke 'em if you got 'em
Somebody's starving in the valley
In the valley of the shadow of death
And there ain't no shepherd 'cause there ain't no sheep
There's just the cold wind of wasted breath
Oh somebody's twisted scripture
Sinking down to a deeper depth
Mazel tov, salaam aliykum
Smoke 'em if you got 'em
So many stories and so little time
You shoot yrs and I'll shoot mine
Mazel tov, salaam aliykum
Smoke 'em if you got 'em
Hey somebody's shooting up our history
Somebody's shooting up our faith
Somebody's shooting up what we might be
If we didn't make so many mistakes
Oh somebody's twisted scripture
Lord I wish someone would hit the brakes
Mazel tov, salaam aliykum
Smoke 'em if you got 'em
