Derek Webb - T-shirts (What We Should Be Known For) lyrics

rate me

They'll know us by the t-shirts that we wear they'll know us by the way we point and stare at anyone whose sin looks worse than ours who cannot hide the scars of this curse that we all bare they'll know us by our picket lines and signs they'll know us by the pride we hide behind like anyone on earth is living right and isn't that why Jesus died not to make us think we're right chorus when love, love, love is what we should be known for love, love, love it's the how and it's the why we live and breathe and we die they'll know us by reasons we divide and how we can't seem to unify because we've gotta sing songs a certain style or we'll walk right down that aisle and just leave ‘em all behind they'll know us by the billboards that we make just turning God's words to cheap clichés says “what part of murder don't you understand?” but we hate our fellow man and point a finger at his grave chorus they'll know us by the t-shirts that we wear they'll know us by the way we point and stare telling ‘em their sins are worse than ours thinking we can hide our scars beneath these t-shirts that we wear
