Machine Head - 8 Blood For Blood lyrics

I bite the hand 'cause this hand feeds off me

Devoid of emotion, it lives to cheat

Ignorance is bliss, and respect I gave you

Friend you did claim this

Too bad you can't speak the truth

Chorus:

Give respect

'Cause the rule is blood for blood

Beatings is what you'll inherit this time

Fast bait, your new name

Your pain is my shine

Pulverize and break

Determination

Pleasure I negate

Your pain brings me salvation

Chorus

I was born of tension

Anger came from frustration

I can't back down from aggression

Some hard knocks taught me this lesson

Chorus
