Derek Webb - T-Shirts (What We Should Be Known For) Lyrics

They'll know us by the t-shirts that we wear
An' 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

An 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 livin' right
And isn't that why Jesus died?
An' not to make us think we're right

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

But 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
We'll walk right down that aisle
And just leave â€~em all behind

An' they'll know us by the billboards that we make
Just turning God's words to cheap cliches
Says, ‽What part of murder don't you understand?”
But we hate our fellow man
And point a finger at his grave

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

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 the t-shirts that we wear
They'll know us by the way we point and stare
Tellin' â€~em their sins are worse than ours
Thinkin' we can hide our scars
Beneath these t-shirts that we wear
