[00:29.49]If I could kill a word and watch it die
[00:32.04]I'd poison never shoot goodbye
[00:35.10]Beat regret when I felt I had the nerve
[00:40.47]Yeah I'd pound fear to a pile of sand
[00:42.84]Choke lonely out with my bare hands
[00:45.96]I'd hang hate so that it can't be heard
[00:51.33]If I could only kill a word
[01:02.34]I'd take brokeness out back
[01:04.65]And break heartbreak stand there and laugh
[01:07.41]Right in its face while shootin' it the bird
[01:12.96]I'd put upset down in its place
[01:15.57]I'd squeeze the life out of disgrace
[01:18.18]Lay over under six cold feet of dirt
[01:22.92]If I could only kill a word
[01:23.76]If I could only kill a word
[01:34.05]Give me sticks give stones
[01:36.72]Bend my body break my bones
[01:39.84]Use staff and rod to turn me black and blue
[01:45.24]Cause you can't unhear you can't unsay
[01:48.09]But if were up to me to change
[01:51.15]I'd turn lies and hate to love and truth
[01:56.58]If I could only kill a word
[02:07.47]I'd knock out temptation's teeth
[02:09.96]I'd sever evil let it bleed
[02:12.84]Then light up wicked stand and watch it burn
[02:18.39]I'd take vice and I'd take vile
[02:21.12]Tie 'em up there with hostile
[02:23.49]Hang 'em high and leave 'em for the birds
[02:30.57]If I could only kill a word
[02:36.09]So give me sticks give stones
[02:38.97]Bend my body break my bones
[02:41.31]Use staff and rod to turn me black and blue
[02:47.25]Cause you can't unhear you can't unsay
[02:50.04]But if were up to me to change
[02:53.01]I'd turn lies and hate to love and truth
[02:59.85]If I could only kill a word
[03:08.58]If I could only kill a word
