WHAT THE USE OF HATING ME ?

FOR THE COLOUR OF MY SKIN

WHATS THE USE OF HATING ME ?

FOR THE NAME I CALL MY GOD

WHATS THE USE OF HATING ME ?

FOR THE LAND WHERE I LIVE

SO WHATS THE USE OF HATRED ?

IN HATRED ONLY EVIL THRIVES

SO WHATS THE USE OF HATRED

HATRED REEKS OF FEAR AND PARANOIA

SO WHATS THE USE OF HATRED ?

IT MAKES THE BLOOD RUN COLD

HATRED BUILDS BOMBS

HATRED BUILD GUNS

HATRED BRINGS VIOLENCE

HATRED BRINGS DEATH

AS I WALK THROUGH THIS LAND

I STOP AND LOOK AT THE WORLD

CITIES IN FLAMES FAMALIES DESTROYED

I SEE THE FACE OF A CHILD

WITH TEARS IN HER EYES

ASKING THE ETERNAL QUESTION

"WHY"

IT COMES BACK TO HATRED POWER GREED

AS THE RICH GET RICHER THE POOR STILL BLEED

DO YOU EVERS ASK FOR FORGIVENESS ?

DO YOU THINK THAT YOU SHOULD

DO YOU EVER GIVE A DAMN

WHEN A SHOT RINGS OUT IN YOUR NEIGHBOURHOOD

IF WE COULD PUT INTO LOVE

WHAT WE PUT INTO HATE

IF WE COULD REACH OUT A HAND

INSTEAD OF SHOOTING A GUN

IF WE COULD TURN BACK TIME

WOULD WE REALLY DO IT ALL AGAIN ?

A MAN IS JUST A MAN

HE'S NOT A NIGGER, HE'S NOT A WOP

HE'S NOT A SLANT EYE,TOWEL HEAD, DIEGO,

PAKI, PADDY, FROGGY, JOCK,

A MAN IS JUST A MAN AFTER ALL

SO WHY DO YOU HATE ME ?

FOR THE COLOUR OF MY SKIN

SO WHY DO YOU HATE ME ?

FOR THE NAME I CALL MY GOD

SO WHY DO YOU HATE ME ?

I'M GETTING PARANOID

PARANOIA BREEDS FEAR

THEN FEAR BECOMES HATE

HATE IS ANGER EXPLODING INTO RAGE

RAGE CAUSES BLOODSHED

BLOODSHED LEADS TO WAR

WAR IS NOTHING BUT A RICH MANS WHORE

NO EARTHLY PLEASURE CAN BE FOUND

IN HATE FEAR GENOCIDE WAR

THE DESTRUCTION TOTALL ANNIHILATION

OF A HUMAN RACE "WHAT FOR"

WE ALL ARRIVE IN THE SAME WAY

WE ALL CAME FROM ONE LAND

WE ALL HAD ONE LANGUAGE

WE ALL HAD ONE BELIEF

CAN WE BUILD TOMORROW ?

FROM THE WRECKAGE OF TODAY ?

CAN WE BURY ALL OUR DIFFERENCES

LIKE WE BURY OUR DEAD ?

CAN WE HOLD UP OUR HANDS

AND ADMIT WE'VE GOT IT WRONG ?

HATRED I HOLD YOU IN CONTEMPT

CONTEMPT OF EVERY DECENT THING

A SIN AGAINST HUMANITY

A SIN AGAINST ALL LIVING THINGS

HATRED YOU ARE GUILTY

OF THE MOST EVIL OF CRIMES

THE CRIME OF FUELLING

MANS MOST BASE DESIRES

BUT WHY DO YOU HATE ME

FOR THE COLOUR OF MY SKIN ?
