eye for a tooth

Much like "Eye for an eye tooth for a tooth" they both deal with the idea of a punishment being equal to what the offender did. However, this differs in that it represents the idea of getting back in a manner equal in magnitude to the victim by any other means necessary, often in a more severe manner.

An eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth

1) if you commit a crime, you should be punished from having the same thing done to you

2) Lyrics from an AC/DC song, called Dog Eat Dog which is found in the Let There Be Rock album released in 1977
1) his punishment is fair as it’s an eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth

2) Bon Scott is a lyrical genius, I love when he sings it’s an eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth in the song Dog Eat Dog
