lyrics

If anger and violence are one
How can violence end what anger’s begun?
For far too long have we sung the same song
You can’t right a wrong with another wrong

Why do we kill people
Who kill people
To show people
That killing people is wrong?

If it’s wrong, then it’s wrong

Why do we kill people
Who kill people
To show people
That killing people is wrong?

You can’t right a wrong with another wrong

Decided by the throne
Cries unheard by hearts of stone

Freedom isn’t somethin’ you can force one to own
As these times have shown
Hopelessness begets frustration and fear,
Fear to hate, hate to rage
Don’t even turn the page, we know how the story goes

Why do we kill people
Who kill people
To show people
That killing people is wrong?

If it’s wrong, then it’s wrong

Why do we kill people
Who kill people
To show people
That killing people is wrong?

We kill people who kill people to show people that killing people is wrong

Why do we?...
Why?...

To decide death as another man’s fate
Is to forget
Only compassion can quench
This fire of hate

Oh, what state of mind
Demands and eye for an eye
And leaves a whole world blind

Why do we kill people
Who kill people
To show people
That killing people is wrong?

Why do we kill people
Who kill people
To show people
That killing people is wrong?

It’s wrong, the world, my friends, that we sing this song
