The FCP GROUP is a band of composers. We are all writers, some perform, all have performed professionally in the past.

Lyrics

It Cuts Both Ways 

Stumbling home at four AM
Fumbling keys trying to get in
He's been here many times before
She'll be waiting just inside the door

This time she wasn’t there so he went upstairs
Thinking he’d find her mad as hell		
There on the bed where she should have been
Was her wedding ring
On top of a note, writ-ten in red
Hit him full force like shotgun lead
It said take care next time you wield your blade
It cuts both ways
It cuts both ways

When family or friends call her with problems
She’d give her all to help them solve ‘em
Now that she needs their helping hands
They're to busy to really give a damn

So she said thanks for nothing in her time of need	
She put her last dime on the Lottery
Her numbers came up, her ship came in
She’s a millionaire
She formed scholarships, funds endowed
Then her ghosts all came with their hands held out
She laughed and said where were you yesterday
It cuts both ways
It cuts both ways

At what point do we search our souls
It has been said that revenge 
Is better served when cold

Go ahead and stand at the altar, praise your God	
Say your vows with your fingers crossed
Shoot her a wink and make her think
You’re true to your word 
Let her wash your clothes, raise the kids
While you waste it all in a stranger's bed
And now you have only yourself to blame

Remember rule one is gilded gold		
You’ll reap the harvest of what you've sow'ed
The seeds you choose can make your fruit
Taste bitter or sweet
When you pass a bum, don't raise your nose
He may be God wearing beggar's clothes
We’ll all stand before the Pearly Gates
It cuts both ways
It cuts both ways
Might wanna behave
It cuts both ways
