Lyrics
Here in the conscious world we place our theories down
Why man must bring us to our knees
Before he sees the weakness of his sinful plan
The power in his hand will never touch a friend
Throw your hatred down
Throw your hatred down
Meanwhile in the underworld the weaknesses are seen
By peasants and presidents who plan the counter-scheme
Children in the schoolyard finish choosing teams
Divided by their dreams while a TV screams
Throw your weapons down
Throw your weapons down
The wheel of fortune keeps on rolling down
The street that's paved with sinful plans
There but for circumstance may go you or I
Dressed in gold lame, find a place to stay
Throw your hatred down
Throw your hatred down
Throw your hatred down
Throw your weapons down
