take a look

take a look in the mirror

look at yourself

but don't you look too close

'cause you just might see

the person that you hate the most

lord

what's happenin' to this human race?

i can't even see one friendly face

brothers fight brothers and sisters wink their eyes

while silver tongues bear fruits of poison lies

just take a look at your children born innocent

every boy and every girl

denyin' themselves a real chance

to build a better world

dear lord

dear lord

what's happenin' to your precious dream?

it's washin' away on a bloody bloody stream

take a look at your children before it's too late

and tell them nobody wins when the prize is hate
