T-shirts (what We Should Be Known For) Lyrics

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
