Mr. Heavy & Ms. Low Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We'd kill ya by age eight
Never get the chance to say:
Joy to the world and
Peace on the earth
Forgive them for they know not what they do
Blessed are the meek and
Blessed are the humble
Blessed are the ninety and nine
Deny the flesh
Deny all that's evil
Tonight you'll deny me thrice
If you were born today
We'd kill ya by age eight
Never get the chance to say...
Ooooo...
